Want to Re-Create Triple-Fried Five Guys Cajun Fries? The Recipe Only Calls For 4 Ingredients

Step 1

Slice the potatoes into even fry shapes, about 1/2 inch wide.

Step 2

Thoroughly rinse the potatoes in a bowl of cold water to remove excess starch. Repeat this step until the water runs clear.

Step 3

Heat one inch of peanut oil in a cast iron skillet to 360° Fahrenheit.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot enough, fry the potatoes in small batches for three to four minutes. Overcrowding the skillet can result in uneven frying.

Step 5

Remove the fries from the oil and sprinkle them with salt. At this point, they should be pliable but pale in color.

Step 6

Add the fries back to the oil in small batches to fry for three to four more minutes so that they just begin to develop a little bit of color.

Step 7

Remove the fries from the oil for a second time and salt them again.

Step 8

For the final fry, add the fries back to the oil for about three more minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Step 9

Toss the hot fries in cajun seasoning and enjoy!
