Cajun Style Baked Fries

As a side dish to my previous chicken finger recipe, and still continuing the non-fried foods approach, I found this recipe for Cajun fries.  I put red-pepper on mostly anything I eat, so I will always try a hot dish.  I have made these a few times, and they always come out great.

Ingredients:

4 medium potatoes
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp cayenne
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp Tabasco sauce
1 tbsp vegetable oil

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a small bowl, combine oregano, thyme, paprika, cayenne, black pepper, sugar, cumin, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, Tabasco sauce, and oil.  Mix well into a paste.

Grease a large baking sheet with Pam.  Add a tsp of oil and  spread across so it makes a very thin coat.

Peel potatoes and cut into french fry shapes.

Place fries into a large quart-style plastic bag and spoon paste into the bag.  Shake and massage to coat fries.

Place fries on baking sheet, trying not to let the edges touch.

Bake in preheated over for 35 minutes, turning once during cooking.  I have found that it sometimes takes about 45 minutes to get that real crispy fry.
