What a great change from ordinary baked fries. These Cajun Style Oven Fries are not only great but they are a snap to throw together also. A yummy recipe.
Goes great with burgers or steak and is good for you too!
The spicy seasoning is just right and adheres well to the potatoes. I don’t think my family will want to eat fries any other way now.

I love oven fries and this Cajun style recipe is one of my favorites!
- 4 medium potatoes
- 1/4 teaspoon oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne or to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a small bowl, combine the oregano, thyme, paprika, cayenne, black pepper, sugar, cumin, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, Tabasco sauce, and oil; mix well into a paste.
Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil; pour a small amount of oil onto the foil and spread with a paper towel.
Peel the potatoes and slice into french fry shapes. Place the fries in a plastic bag with the paste and work paste onto fries; alternatively, you can do this in a bowl, but the bag method is easier.
Place the fries on the lined baking sheet, trying not to let edges touch.
Bake in preheated oven for approximately 30-35 minutes (your time may vary with the size fry you cut); turn once during cooking to brown the underside.
Enjoy these Cajun Style Oven Fries as a side for almost anything!
