Crispy Coated Cajun Fries

SUBMITTED BY: SUNNYBC  PHOTO BY: Allrecipes 

"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 (Nutrition)

  • 2 pounds russet potatoes, cut into fries
  • 1 cup corn flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornmeal
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning

Drain the potatoes, but leave them wet. Place the fries in the plastic bag with the seasoning, and shake to coat.
