How to Make Baked Spicy Fries

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Wash and cut 2 lbs of potatoes into even-sized wedges or slices (about ½ inch thick).
  3. In a large bowl, toss potato wedges with 1 tablespoon of olive oil cooking spray and 2 tablespoons of your favorite Cajun spice blend (or a combination of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper to taste).
  4. Spread potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 40 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  6. For extra crispy fries, broil for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning, flipping halfway through.

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.
