Method
Preparation
- 1
Prep the Potatoes
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a towel. If using russet potatoes, cut them into thick wedges; if using sweet potatoes, cut them into similar-sized wedges.
- 2
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help achieve a crispy texture.
Cooking
- 3
Season the Fries
In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil and salt until evenly coated. If making Cajun fries, add the Cajun seasoning ingredients and mix well. For sweet potato fries, add the cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar.

Arrange on Baking Sheet
Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not overcrowded, as this will prevent them from getting crispy.
- 5
Bake the Fries
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Serve
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a minute. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
