Cajun Spiced Fries with Smoky Chipotle Mayo Dip

👩‍🍳 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!
