These are so incredibly good...Cajun and Creole seasoning can be interchanged. Also, feel free to try with other seasoning blends.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for unfried French fries because they are starchy and have a low moisture content. This will help the fries to crisp up in the oven.
- Cut the potatoes into even-sized strips: This will help them to cook evenly.
- Soak the potatoes in water for 30 minutes: This will help to remove excess starch and prevent the fries from sticking together.
- Dry the potatoes thoroughly before baking: This will help them to crisp up.
- Toss the potatoes with oil and seasonings: This will help them to brown and flavor them.
- Bake the potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them to crisp up quickly.
- Flip the potatoes halfway through baking: This will help them to brown evenly.
- Serve the fries immediately: They are best when they are hot and crispy.
