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: Look for firm, starchy potatoes like Yukon Gold, Russet, or Idaho potatoes. These varieties hold their shape better during baking and provide a crispy exterior.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: Uniformly sized potato slices ensure even cooking and prevent some pieces from becoming overcooked while others remain underdone.
- Coat the potatoes thoroughly with oil: This helps create a golden brown, crispy exterior and prevents the potatoes from sticking to the baking sheet.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat: This prevents the potato slices from sticking to the baking sheet and makes cleanup easier.
- Bake the potatoes at a high temperature: This creates a crispy exterior and fluffy interior. Make sure to preheat the oven before baking to ensure even cooking.
- Flip the potato slices halfway through baking: This ensures that both sides become evenly golden brown and crispy.
- Season the potatoes with your favorite herbs and spices: This adds flavor and makes your unfried French fries even more delicious.
