Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium Russet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs)
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil (for frying)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- ¼ cup green onions, chopped
- ¼ cup sour cream or ranch dressing (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Wash, peel, and cut Russet potatoes into even sticks. Rinse under cold water to remove excess starch.
- Soak the potato sticks in cold water for at least 30 minutes to enhance crispiness. Pat dry thoroughly with paper towels.
- Heat around three inches of olive oil in a deep pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Test with a small piece of potato; it should sizzle immediately.
- Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy (approximately 5-7 minutes per batch). Avoid overcrowding the pot.
- Drain fried potatoes on paper towels and sprinkle Cajun seasoning generously while hot. Toss to coat evenly.
- Serve immediately topped with cheddar cheese, a drizzle of sour cream or ranch dressing, and a sprinkle of green onions.
