Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Mixing Bowl
- Spatula or spoon
- Measuring Spoons
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb baby potatoes whole
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures your potatoes will roast to perfection.
- Rinse the baby potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the washed baby potatoes with the olive oil, Cajun seasoning, and salt. Toss everything together until the potatoes are well-coated.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. This helps them roast evenly without steaming.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for about 25-30 minutes. Halfway through, give them a stir to ensure they brown evenly.
- After 30 minutes, poke a potato with a fork to check if it’s tender inside. If not, give them an additional 5-10 minutes.
- Once the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven. Let them cool for a few minutes, then serve hot as a delightful side dish or snack.
Notes
- Store cooked Cajun Potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat by baking at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until crispy.
- Try avocado oil instead of olive oil for a different flavor.
- Add fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for extra freshness.
- For more spice, add cayenne pepper to the Cajun seasoning.
