Ingredients for Baked Sesame Fries

  • 2 pounds russet potatoes
  • Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoons gomashio seasoning OR 1 tablespoon Cajun spice

How to Make Baked Sesame Fries

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and peel 2 pounds of russet potatoes. Dice the potatoes into 1/2-inch thick fries.
  3. Place the diced potatoes in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let soak for 5 minutes to remove excess starch.
  4. Drain the potatoes thoroughly. In a large bowl, toss the fries with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of gomashio seasoning (or 1 tablespoon of Cajun spice).
  5. Spread the fries in a single layer on a large non-stick baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through (around 15 minutes), until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
