Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 large (12 oz) Russet Potato, cut into 1/4" fries
  • 1 Tbsp (16g) Peanut Oil
  • 1/2 Tbsp (6g) Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Thyme

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the potato(es) before cutting into 1/4" strips. Pat dry with a paper towel and add to a large bowl with the peanut oil. Toss to evenly coat and place in an air fryer basket.
  2. Air fry for 15 minutes* at 400ºF until the fries begin to turn golden brown. (No need to shake.)
  3. Mix the remaining ingredients together in a small bowl while the potatoes cook.
  4. Transfer the potatoes back to the bowl and toss with 1/2 to 3/4 the spices. Return to the basket and air fry for an additional 4-6 minutes at 400ºF. Toss the finished fries in the remaining spices and a bit of parsley, if desired. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

*I used a 6.5qt Ninja Foodi for air frying. Different air fryers, especially larger/smaller air fryers, may require a slight modification to cook time.

Each serving of fries has 5 WW SmartPoints (blue).

For Oven Baked Five Guys Cajun Fries

Cut the potatoes and toss them in the peanut oil before adding 3/4 of the seasoning blend. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated before adding to a baking sheet. Bake at 450ºF for 25-35 minutes, flipping and stirring the fries about halfway through.
