WAY TOO EASY CAJUN POTATOES



Way Too Easy Cajun Potatoes image

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.

Provided by omeomy 2

Categories     Potato

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

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

Steps:

  • 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.
