Potatoes are coated in a spicy mixture of corn flour and Cajun seasoning then deep fried until crispy. Very simple and really crunchy. I like mine extra spicy so I soak my cut potatoes in hot sauce for a few seconds before shaking them in the dry batter.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds russet potatoes , cut into fries
- 1 cup corn flour
- 2 tablespoons cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 quart oil for deep frying
- salt to taste
Instructions

1
Place cut potatoes into a large bowl of cold water. Soak for 10 minutes. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the corn flour, corn meal, and Cajun seasoning. Shake the bag to blend. Drain the potatoes, but leave them wet. Place the fries in the plastic bag with the seasoning, and shake to coat.
