Ingredients
  

For Pommes Frites:

  • 4 Russet potatoes
  • 1.5 L frying oil peanut, canola, or vegetable
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1½ teaspoon minced garlic 2–3 cloves
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley

For Cajun Dipping Sauce:

  • ½ cup mayo
  • 1 tablespoon spicy or Dijon mustard
  • 1 –2 teaspoon creamed horseradish to taste
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • Peel potatoes and cut into ¼–½ inch sticks. Soak in cold water for 1 hour.
  • Make dipping sauce, whisk ingredients in a small bowl and chill. Mix salt, garlic powder, and pepper for fries in another bowl.
  • Drain potatoes, pat dry. Heat oil to 325°F and fry in batches for 5 minutes. Drain fries on a paper towel lined plate.
  • Increase oil to 375°F; fry potatoes again 1–2 minutes until crisp. Season immediately with garlic powder mixture.
  • Toss hot fries in butter and garlic, then sprinkle Parmesan and parsley. Serve with Cajun dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Soak the fries before frying. This creates removes some exterior starch for a crispier fry.
  • Don't overcrowd the frying pot. Cook in batches if needed.
  • Use a thermometer to watch the oil temperature and keep it steady.
  • You can make these in the air-fryer instead! Spray potatoes with oil and air-fry at 375F (190C) for 15-20 minutes.
  • Nutrition vales are an estimate only.
