Ingredients
Scale
Fries
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
Toppings and Sauce
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1-2 tablespoons hot sauce, to taste
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the fries at a high temperature for maximum crispiness.
- Prepare the potatoes: Wash, peel, and cut the russet potatoes into even strips to ensure they cook evenly and get crispy on the outside.
- Season the fries: Toss the potato strips with olive oil until evenly coated, then generously sprinkle Cajun seasoning over them and mix thoroughly to make sure the flavors are well distributed.
- Roast the fries: Spread the seasoned fries on a baking sheet in a single layer to avoid steaming, then roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes. Flip them halfway through the cooking time for even browning until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Make the spicy sauce: While the fries bake, combine sour cream, hot sauce, and lemon juice in a bowl. Mix well to create a creamy, tangy, and spicy sauce.
- Assemble and serve: Once the fries are done roasting, transfer them to a serving dish. Top with chopped green onions and, if desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top. Serve immediately with the spicy sour cream sauce.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking, then pat dry.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce in the sour cream sauce to control the spice level.
- Feta cheese is optional but adds a nice salty and creamy contrast to the fries.
- You can use smoked paprika in place of Cajun seasoning for a milder flavor.
