Cajun Style Potatoes

  • 4-6 potatoes
  • 1/2 tsp. oregano
  • 1/2 tsp. thyme
  • 2 tsp. paprika
  • 1/8-1/4 tsp cayenne (to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp. sugar
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. cumin
  • 2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/2-1 tsp. Tabasco sauce (to taste)
  • 1/2-1 tsp. salt (to taste)
  • 2 T. oil

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine all ingredients except potatoes. Mix well into a paste. Peel potatoes and slice into desired shapes (French fry works well). Place potatoes in a plastic bag with seasoning paste and work paste onto fries. Place fries onto a lined baking sheet – trying not to let edges touch as much as possible. Bake in preheated oven for approximately 30-35 minutes (varying depending upon size of fry and oven); turn once during cooking to brown both sides.
