Method

Preparing the Cajun Fries

Cutting the Potatoes

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

Soaking the Fries

Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

Frying the Fries

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Drain the fries and dry them thoroughly. Fry the potatoes in batches until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch.

Seasoning the Fries

Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. While they are still hot, sprinkle with Cajun spice blend to taste.

Making the Garlic Aïoli

Mixing the Ingredients

In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well combined.
