Roasted Cajun Potatoes

Ingredients

• 2 lb potatoes (peeled and cubed)
• salt (for parboiling water)
• 3 garlic (cloves, minced)
• 3 tbsp cooking oil (such as vegetable or olive oil)
• 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste)
• 1 tsp lemon pepper
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp dried parsley
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp all-purpose seasoning
• 1 tbsp butter (optional, for finishing)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

2. 2

   Place the cubed potatoes in a pot of water and add some salt.

3. 3

   Parboil the potatoes for about 7 minutes until they are just fork tender.

4. 4

   Drain the potatoes and transfer them into a roasting pan.

5. 5

   In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, oil, Cajun seasoning, lemon pepper, paprika, dried parsley, onion powder, and all-purpose seasoning.

6. 6

   Drizzle the seasoning mixture over the potatoes in the roasting pan.

7. 7

   Use a silicone spatula to gently mix the potatoes with the seasoning so that you don't break the softened potatoes.

8. 8

   Bake in the preheated oven at 200°C for 30 minutes or until the potatoes are golden and done.

9. 9

   Optional: Add some butter to the hot potatoes and toss before serving.

Notes

Using a silicone spatula is recommended to keep the parboiled potatoes intact while tossing. You can adjust the Cajun seasoning based on your preferred spice level.
