Cajun Seasoned French Fries

Ingredients:

• 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
• 4 Russet Potatoes
• 1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
•  Sea Salt

Bring a large pot of water to boil.  While the water is heating, cut the potatoes into french fry size pieces (about 1/4" thick).  When the water comes to a boil add the fries, turn off the water, and set the timer for 3 minutes.  After the three minutes is up, remove the fries from the water and lay them on a paper towel to dry.

 Preheat oven to 425.  Put the fries in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning.  Toss to coat.

Place on baking sheet that is coated with cooking spray, sprinkle with sea salt, and bake for 15 minutes.  Using a spatula flip the fries and return them to the oven to back for an additional 12-15 minutes flipping one more time. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness that you cut your fries.

Baked Sweet Potato Fries with Cinnamon Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

Burgers and fries are a guilty pleasure of mine.  I recently discovered that I LOVE sweet potato fries!  So I gave them a shot at home and I was pretty impressed (and so was my family) that they came out as good as they did.  

Ingredients:
Fries

• 2 Large Sweet Potatoes
• Sea Salt
• Cayenne Pepper (just a little)
• about a tablespoon of vegetable oil

Dipping Sauce

• 2 Tablespoons Honey
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons Mustard
• A couple dashes of Cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400.  Cut sweet potatoes into half inch slices and then cut those into 1/2 inch pieces.  Place a single layer of potatoes on a baking sheet.  Drizzle with vegetable oil- toss and sprinkle with sea salt and a tiny bit of cayenne pepper.

Bake for about 25 minutes flipping them about half way through.

The dipping sauce is incredibly easy to make.  Just mix the honey, mustard, and cinnamon together.
I served these with Red Pepper Turkey Burgers YUM!
