    Cajun Spiced Potatoes

    Cajun spiced potatoes step-by-step recipe with photos.

    While in India, one of my favourite restaurants was Barbeque Nation, and the dish I liked most was their Cajun spiced potatoes. After moving to Melbourne I really missed it when I thought of good vegetarian starters and snacks. I tried making it a few times at home and finally mastered it. It is a definite winner if you want some great vegetarian finger food for parties. Finger licking goodness...

     I make a quick and easy cajun spice mix with just a handful of ingredients from my pantry. For the cajun spice mix, I combine together cumin powder, chilli powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, pepper powder, salt and garlic powder. To make this dish, I parboil baby potatoes with skin on. I then place them on a baking tray and gently pressed with a wide spoon. I rub the potatoes with homemade cajun seasoning and bake them till golden brown.

    Topped with roasted capsicum and sour cream dip, these little delicious bites of potatoes taste absolutely delicious.
