Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 lb Russet Potatoes
  • 2 Teaspoons Creole Seasoning
  • Vegetable Oil for cooking

Instructions

  • Wash the potatoes well.
  • Slice into ¼" thick fries but cutting the potatoes lengthways first then slicing into fries.
  • Put the fries into a bowl of ice water and allow to sit for 30 minutes. Drain and rinse again.
  • Pat dry with paper towels.
  • Heat the cooking oil to 375°F and drop the fries into a basket. Cook in batches to not overcrowd, if necessary.
  • Fry for about 5 minutes, until the fries are golden brown. Remove from the oil and allow to drain on paper towels.
  • Sprinkle with the Creole Seasoning while the fries are still hot.

Notes

You can change the Creole seasoning for Cajun Seasoning.
Feel free to peel the potatoes if you prefer. Popeyes Cajun Fries are not peeled though.
