Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Do not peel them.

Step 3

Cut the potatoes into even slices, about 1/4-inch thick, to resemble fries.

Step 4

Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat the potatoes evenly.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Sprinkle the spice mixture over the oiled potato slices. Toss again to ensure all fries are evenly coated with the seasoning.

Step 7

Spread the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 11

Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy as a standalone snack.
