For an extra kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the flour mixture. Double frying: Fry the potatoes at 325F for 5 minutes, let rest for 10 minutes, then fry again at 375F until golden brown for extra crispiness. Serve these fries with your favorite dipping sauces such as ranch, ketchup, or a zesty aioli.

Follow The Directions
01
StepSubmerge the cut potatoes in a large bowl filled with ice-cold water. Allow them to soak for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes. (15-30 minutes)
02
StepIn a spacious resealable plastic bag, meticulously combine the corn flour, cornmeal, and Cajun seasoning. Seal the bag tightly and shake vigorously until the mixture is uniformly blended. (2 minutes)
03
StepThoroughly drain the potatoes, ensuring they remain slightly damp. Transfer the fries into the bag containing the spice mixture. Seal the bag, and gently shake and toss until each fry is evenly coated with the flavorful blend. (3 minutes)
04
StepIn a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to a consistent 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). It is crucial to use a thermometer to check the temperature. (10 minutes)
05
StepCarefully introduce the coated fries into the hot oil in batches, being mindful not to overcrowd the fryer. Fry for approximately 6 to 8 minutes per batch, until the fries achieve a beautiful golden-brown hue and a satisfying crispness. (6-8 minutes)
06
StepRemove the perfectly fried fries from the oil using a slotted spoon or frying basket. Place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to allow any excess oil to drain. (2 minutes)
07
StepWhile the fries are still hot, generously sprinkle them with sea salt to enhance their flavor. Serve immediately and relish the irresistible crispy texture and bold Cajun flavor!

Jun 24, 2025I used an air fryer instead of deep frying, and they still came out pretty good. Not as crispy, but a healthier alternative.
