Ingredients
  • 2 Russet potatoes large, about 1¼ pounds, peeled and cut into ½-inch sticks
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning see recipe below
Cajun Seasoning:
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
Creole Dipping Sauce
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon coarse brown mustard
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil in a large saucepan while you peel and cut the potatoes. Blanch the potatoes in the boiling salted water for 4 minutes while you pre-heat the air fryer to 400ºF. Strain the potatoes and rinse them with cold water. Dry them well with a clean kitchen towel.
  2. Toss the dried potato sticks gently with the oil and place them in the air fryer basket. Air-fry for 25 minutes, shaking the basket a few times while the fries cook to help them brown evenly.
  3. While the fries are cooking, combine the ingredients to make the Cajun seasoning. With 5 minutes left on the air fryer, sprinkle the potatoes with the Cajun seasoning and drizzle in a little more oil. Toss evenly to coat the fries and continue to air-fry for the final minutes.
To make the Creole Dipping Sauce:
  1. Combine all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Serve the Cajun Fries hot with Creole Dipping sauce on the side.
