Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 large red-skinned potatoes (about 2 1/2 pounds), peeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon Creole or Cajun seasoning or 1 additional teaspoon chili powder
1/4 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Cook potatoes in medium pot of boiling salted water until almost tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well. Spread potatoes on heavy large baking sheet. Sprinkle with paprika, chili powder and Creole seasoning. Season with salt. Drizzle olive oil over potatoes and stir to coat.
  • Bake potatoes until crisp, turning with metal spatula every 10 minutes, about 40 minutes.

Tips:

  • To achieve crispy hash browns, use grated potatoes instead of shredded potatoes. Grating the potatoes creates more surface area for browning.
  • Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the hash browns. This will give them plenty of room to spread out and crisp up.
  • Press the hash browns down firmly with a spatula as they cook. This will help them develop a nice crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet or griddle. If you do, the hash browns will steam instead of fry.
  • Cook the hash browns over medium-high heat. This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Season the hash browns with your favorite seasonings. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • For extra flavor, add some chopped vegetables to the hash browns, such as onions, peppers, or mushrooms.
  • Serve the hash browns with your favorite breakfast sides, such as eggs, bacon, or sausage.

Conclusion:

Cheesy Cajun hash browns are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
