Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 large Russet Potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons Canola or Vegetable Oil (divided)
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground Black Pepper (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne
  • 1/2 teaspoon Paprika
  • Dash Turmeric
  • Dash Onion Powder

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 475°F.
  • Wash potatoes. Slice into strips.
  • Place in a large bowl and cover with hot water. Let stand for 20 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, combine all Popeyes Cajun Spice Blend ingredients. Mix well. Set aside.
  • Drain potatoes and dry them off thoroughly.
  • Brush a baking pan with 3 tablespoons of oil.
  • Sprinkle pan with 1/3 of the Popeyes Cajun Spice Blend.
  • Place dried potatoes in a dry bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of oil. Toss to coat well.
  • Sprinkle lightly with Popeyes Cajun Spice Blend, tossing around a bit to make sure all sides are coated.
  • Place spiced potatoes on the pan in a single layer.
  • Cover with foil.
  • Place in preheated oven. Bake 5 minutes.
  • Remove foil. Continue baking for another 15 - 20 minutes, until golden brown on the bottom. (How fast they cook will depend largely on how thick or thin you cut your strips. Watch closely so they do not burn.)
  • Flip potatoes. Continue baking until crisp and golden, about 10 - 15 minutes. Again, watch closely so they do not burn.
  • Remove from oven. Sprinkle with the rest of the Cajun seasoning. Drain on paper towels.
  • Serve hot with a good dipping sauce. Or two.
