- 0.5 cup mayonnaise (For the spicy sauce)
- 2 tbsp jalapeños (Chopped; for the spicy sauce)
- 1 tbsp Sambal oelek sauce (Alternatively, use any chili sauce plus 1/2 tbsp red chili flakes)

Steps
- 1
Peel the potatoes, if desired. The source notes that leaving the skins on can produce extra-crispy fries. Wash the potatoes and cut them into thin slices.
- 2
Bring salted water to a boil and boil the sliced potatoes for 3–4 minutes.
- 3
Drain the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry after boiling. Transfer them to a bowl.
- 4
Add the egg, cornstarch, all-purpose flour, salt, red chili flakes, Cajun seasoning, and olive oil to the potatoes.
- 5
Mix well until the potato slices are evenly coated with the egg, flour, cornstarch, seasoning, and oil mixture.
- 6
Heat frying oil over medium heat.
- 7
Fry the coated potato slices in the hot oil over medium heat until they are crispy and golden.
- 8
Prepare the spicy sauce by adding the mayonnaise, chopped jalapeños, sambal oelek, finely minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to a bowl. If substituting for the sambal, use any chili sauce plus 1/2 tablespoon red chili flakes.
- 9
Mix the sauce ingredients together in the bowl until combined, then serve with the crispy fries.
Notes
The source does not specify the amount or type of frying oil, or a precise frying time. Fry in batches if needed so the potatoes can crisp evenly without overcrowding the pan.
