Ingredients
Scale
Fries
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Spicy Sauce
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1–2 tablespoons hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for roasting the fries to a crispy golden brown.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash, peel, and cut the russet potatoes into even strips to ensure uniform cooking.
- Coat Potatoes: Toss the potato strips thoroughly with olive oil, making sure each piece is evenly coated for a crispy texture.
- Season Fries: Generously sprinkle the Cajun seasoning over the fries and mix well so the spices evenly coat the potatoes.
- Roast Fries: Spread the fries on a baking sheet in a single layer to avoid overcrowding. Roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through until they are golden brown and crisp.
- Mix Spicy Sauce: While the fries are baking, combine the sour cream, hot sauce, and lemon juice in a bowl. Stir well to create a creamy and tangy spicy dipping sauce.
- Finish and Serve: Once fries are done, immediately top them with chopped green onions and crumbled feta cheese if desired. Serve hot with the spicy sauce on the side or drizzled on top.
Notes
- Use fresh russet potatoes for the best texture and flavor.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce in the sauce to control the spiciness level.
- For extra crispy fries, soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking and then dry thoroughly.
- Feta cheese is optional but adds a nice creamy, salty contrast to the spicy fries.
- To make this recipe gluten-free, verify that the Cajun seasoning contains no gluten additives.
