Way Too Easy Cajun Potatoes

These were a staple in the Irish Channel in the good ole days. I still make mine in a cast iron pan but you can use any oven proof pan. For those who must have heat, add extra cayenne. To shorten baking time we sometimes nuke the potato chunks a little before adding to the oil.

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 4 -5  medium potatoes
• 1  tablespoon  cajun seasoning
• 1  tablespoon  oil
•  cayenne pepper
•  salt and pepper

Directions

1. Pre heat oven to about 375-400.
2. With a fork score all over the potatoes (peeled or not), this will make them more crisp.
3. Chop the potatoes into 1 1/2-2 inch chunks.
4. Put the oil in the pan (warming the pan first is good, but not vital), add potatoes, sprinkle all seasonings over (go easy with the salt; more can be added after cooking) and toss and stir potatoes with two forks until all chunks are coated.
5. Bake for 15 mins, stir well (again with the forks), bake a further 10-15 minutes.
6. Note: If you've nuked them, the potatoes will need a little less time. Watch them towards the last few minutes.
