Method
Preparation of Potatoes
- 1
Wash and Cut Potatoes
Thoroughly wash the russet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Cut each potato into even sticks, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- 2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potato sticks in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and ensures the fries are crispy.
Cajun Seasoning Preparation
- 3
Mix the Seasoning
In a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a uniform seasoning blend.
Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping in a small piece of potato; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.

Drain and Season
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fries from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle the Cajun seasoning generously over the fries and toss to coat evenly.
