👩🍳 Directions
1. Prepare the Fries (if using fresh potatoes):
Peel and cut potatoes into thin strips.
Soak them in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
Drain, pat dry thoroughly with a towel — this step is crucial for crispiness!
2. Fry or Bake the Fries:
Option 1 — Deep Fry:
Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep fryer or large pot.
Fry in batches for 4–5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Drain on paper towels.
Option 2 — Oven Bake or Air Fry:
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) or air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Toss fries in oil and spread in a single layer on a baking sheet or air fryer basket.
Cook for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crisp and golden.
3. Season the Fries:
While still hot, toss fries with the Cajun seasoning mix until evenly coated.
You can adjust spice level by adding or reducing cayenne pepper.
4. Make the Dip:
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, lime juice, smoked paprika, garlic, and salt.
Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes before serving — this helps the flavors blend beautifully.
5. Serve & Enjoy!
Pile the fries high, sprinkle with a little extra seasoning or chopped parsley for presentation, and serve with your smoky chipotle mayo dip.
Crunchy, spicy, creamy — the perfect trio of flavors and textures. 🔥
💡 Tips & Variations
For Extra Crispiness: Double fry the potatoes — first at 325°F for 3–4 minutes (to cook), then at 375°F for 2 minutes (to crisp).
Healthier Option: Use sweet potatoes instead of russets.
Sauce Swap: Try ranch, garlic aioli, or sriracha mayo if you’re out of chipotle.
Loaded Version: Add melted cheese, bacon bits, and green onions for Cajun cheese fries!
