Ingredients
For the roasted potatoes | |
|---|---|
| 4 | medium potatoes, approximately 4-5, cleaned and prepared |
| 1 | tablespoon cajun seasoning for flavor enhancement |
| 1 | tablespoon oil for roasting |
| cayenne pepper to taste | |
| salt and pepper to taste | |
Instructions
Roasting the Potatoes | |
|---|---|
| 1. | Preheat the oven to 375°F to 400°F (190°C to 200°C). |
| 2. | Using a fork, carefully score the surface of the potatoes to enhance crispiness; this step can be done regardless of whether the potatoes are peeled. |
| 3. | Cut the potatoes into 1 ½ to 2-inch chunks for even cooking. |
| 4. | In a preheated baking pan, add the oil, followed by the potato chunks. Generously sprinkle the Cajun seasoning, cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper over the potatoes. Utilizing two forks, toss the potatoes until every piece is thoroughly coated in the seasoning. |
| 5. | Roast the potatoes in the oven for 15 minutes, then stir well using the forks. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. |
| 6. | Note: If you have pre-cooked the potatoes in the microwave, adjust the baking time accordingly to avoid overcooking. Keep a watchful eye during the final minutes of roasting. |
