Fries

Method

Fries

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to form fries.

  2. 2

    Soak and Dry

    Soak the fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry.

  3. 3

    Heat Oil

    In a large heavy pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Season the Fries

    Season the fries with salt immediately after frying.

Cajun Gravy

  1. 6

    Melt Butter

    In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

  2. 7

    Make Roux

    Whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for 2-3 minutes until it turns light brown.

  3. 8

    Add Broth

    Gradually whisk in the chicken or vegetable broth, ensuring there are no lumps.

  4. 9

    Simmer Gravy

    Stir in the Cajun seasoning, black pepper, and salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

Assembly
