The Cajun tartar sauce
We started making this gravy because I’m obsessed with french fries (oh my gosh I can’t even write it without making my mouth water!!!!) and gravy at Disneyland. literally best fries and gravy always. My goodness!!!
After a few years of manufacture sauces from scratch, I decided to take a shortcut here. Everyone says this sauce is like a thousand islands dressing, but there’s more to it than that. So I use a few thousand islands, which is easier than opening tomato paste, and then add an extra dimension to the whole thing. Boom…this new recipe was born!

How to make homemade french fries
There are two keys to perfection homemade french fries recipe…an ice bath and double roast. I explain…
- Peel the potatoes and slice them either by hand or with a chip cutter.
- Place the fries in an ice bath, then refrigerate the entire bowl for at least an hour.
- PRO TIP: This removes much of the starch on the outside of the potato and cools it so that the outside crisps up when it hits the oil while the inside stays soft.
- Lay the fries on a towel to dry and heat the oil.
- When your oil has reached 300 degrees (I like to use a thermometer to keep an eye on the oil temp), start frying the fries in batches so you don’t overfill them. Let them fry for 4-5 minutes, then use a spider spoon to take them out onto a paper towel-lined plate.
- Once you’ve roasted all of the potatoes for the first time, turn up the heat and heat the oil to 400 degrees.
- Then use the spider spoon to gently drop the fries into the oil to fry them again. Repeat in batches until all fries are cooked through, place on a paper towel-lined plate and salt as you remove each batch.
- PRO TIP: Double frying gives the fries the desired crispiness on the outside, while the middle stays nice and soft!
- When all the fries are double fried and salted, toss with the parmesan, garlic, parsley and Cajun spices and eat hot with the tartar sauce.
Storage, reheating and freezing
I think it’s common knowledge that french fries don’t keep well. They lose their crispiness and get mushy pretty quickly. So eat them hot and fresh!
If you have leftovers, let them cool completely and then store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They are best reheated in an air fryer.
The Cajun dipping sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. I wouldn’t recommend freezing it.
I’m writing this post while Disneyland is still closed due to COVID-19. There are plans to open it only to California residents in the next few weeks. Even if I can’t snag a real deal at Cafe Orleans, I’ll imitate this one French fries with Cajun dip recipe instead!
Update: I still haven’t made it to Disneyland since it reopened, but I’ve been to Disney World. The fries just weren’t the same there, and I prefer the dipping sauce at Cafe Orleans. Fifty points for Disneyland!
