Way Too Easy Cajun Potatoes

- Ready In:
- 35mins
- Ingredients:
- 5
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 4 -5 medium potatoes
- 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
- 1 tablespoon oil
- cayenne pepper
- salt and pepper
directions
- Pre heat oven to about 375-400.
- With a fork score all over the potatoes (peeled or not), this will make them more crisp.
- Chop the potatoes into 1 1/2-2 inch chunks.
- 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.
- Bake for 15 mins, stir well (again with the forks), bake a further 10-15 minutes.
- Note: If you've nuked them, the potatoes will need a little less time. Watch them towards the last few minutes.

I'm giving this recipe 5 stars for the flavour - it was even spicy enough for my fire-breathing hubby!! However, I was trying to cut corners on a weeknight & used canned potatoes - DON'T DO IT - as I said, the potatoes taste great but they really don't get crispy. Can't wait to try this again with the real taters.

Originally from New Orleans; are we food obsessed or what?? Sent to boarding school at a very young age where our major gripe was the food, of course. I swore never to eat stuff I did not like ever again. Life is too short for that nonsense. Its easier to list dislikes than likes/loves, so:
Curry (every poverty stricken third world country reeks of curry, yuk!)
Eggplant anything (I don't care how fancy you disguise aubergine, its still slimy eggplant).
Pumpkin anything (I hear its good food for pigs...give 'em my share).
Brussel sprouts (who in hell decided these were fit for human consumption?)
