Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- 2 tbsps Cajun seasoning
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsps hot sauce
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F, ensuring a hot environment for crispy potato transformation.
- Thoroughly cleanse russet potatoes, removing skin and slicing into uniform, slender strips to guarantee even cooking.
- Massage olive oil onto potato strips, creating a glistening, even coating that promotes optimal browning.
- Lavishly dust Cajun seasoning across the potatoes, vigorously tossing to distribute the zesty spice blend.
- Arrange potato strips in a precise single layer on a baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Roast for 30-35 minutes at 425°F, rotating midway to ensure golden-brown edges and uniform texture.
- Simultaneously, whisk together sour cream, hot sauce, and a splash of lemon juice to craft a tangy, spicy dipping sauce.
- Remove fries from the oven when they reach a perfect golden-brown hue and crisp exterior.
- Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped green onions and crumbled feta cheese for added flavor complexity and visual appeal.
Notes
- Choose firm, starchy russet potatoes for the crispiest exterior and fluffy interior.
- Use a sharp knife to create uniform potato strips, ensuring consistent cooking and crunchiness.
- Adjust Cajun spice levels based on personal heat tolerance by using mild or hot Cajun blend.
- Use a dark metal baking sheet or parchment paper to prevent sticking and achieve maximum crispiness.
- Swap regular feta with dairy-free alternatives like nutritional yeast for vegan versions or use low-fat cheese for lighter options.
- Experiment with Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a tangier, protein-rich dipping sauce.
