HOT CAJUN FRIES 
4 baking potatoes
1 lg. chopped onion
1 chopped green pepper
2 tbsp. minced fresh jalapeno peppers
1 clove minced garlic
1/2 c. chopped celery
3/4 c. vegetable oil
1/3 c. flour
2 tsp. cajun seasoning
1 1/2 c. beef stock vegetable oil for frying
2 tbsp. cajun seasoning

Peel potatoes and cut into thin, long strips. Place in a bowl of ice water. For cajun sauce: Saute onion, peppers, garlic and celery in vegetable oil (preferably peanut oil). When vegetables are tender, whisk in flour and 2 teaspoons cajun seasoning. Gradually whisk in beef stock and cook until thick and smooth. Cool and reserve sauce for hot fries. Drain potatoes. Heat vegetable oil (preferably peanut oil) in deep fryer or in a heavy, 4 quart saucepan to 375 degrees. Place fries in a fryer basket and fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cajun seasoning, and serve with heated cajun sauce.
