Under ingredients, it says "6 large potatoes, peeled,cut int 1/2 " pieces and cooked until almost tender apprx 5 minutes,drain well" I give up... does this mean boiling the potatoes? Baked? microwaved? Not too clear, is it?

Excellent! A great way to make potatoes. I especially liked the Cajun seasoning. Easy to prepare!Thanks for sharing this recipe, Bergy! -
I just love to find another way to make potatoes (Irish, ya know!) and this is great. The only thing I did different was to blend all the spices along with the olive oil in a large bowl - so I could get some work done ahead of time. Then I just tossed the parboiled potatoes into the bowl to coat, and baked as noted. This recipe can also be halved for serving just the two of us. Thanks, Bergy! -
Not really hash browns are they? They're roasted potatoes, and as such are quite nice. I suggest letting these bad boys bake for about 30 and then pan frying em in oil and then you'll actually have cajun crispy hash browns that are really hash browns. -
Great recipe. I made them with sweet potatoes and omitted the chili powder. My husband and I loved these "hash browns" and will definitely have them again. -
These potatoes were SO good. Loved the method of boiling first and then roasting. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. So flavorful! Will definitely be making it again and again.

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
