    Yesterday I shared a homemade cajun seasoning blend and today I want to give you one way of using it (well other than the ideas I gave you yesterday) confused yet??? 😉

    I made these cajun spiced potatoes last week for the boys and I, then packed up some extra ones for Stew's lunch. He must have loved them as I got a text at lunchtime that said "Those potatoes. LUSH x"

    Cajun Spiced Potatoes. A simple and delicious side dish.

    I think that is a pretty good endorsement, but if you need further convincing let me tell you that these beauties taste buttery and rich yet have a warmth and spice to them that makes you want to scrape your plate with your finger. They aren't chilly spicy, just aromatic and flavourful. But if you want to pep them up a bit then you can add an extra dash of cayenne pepper to them. Alternatively if you are making your own spice blend up you can make the whole batch spicier.

    Cajun Spiced Potatoes. A simple and delicious side dish.

    The potatoes are boiled first and then finished in the oven, to slightly crisp. This means you get the really fluffy centres and just a small crunch. This is the way the boys like them, as they are funny about crunchy potatoes....no idea why! They loves chips, but give them crispy fries or crispy potatoes and they always leave the really crispy ones. Conclusion? Kids are just odd!

    We served them with some pan fried chicken thighs and salad, but they will work well with steak or a fillet of fish. Or chop them in half before you roast them and serve them along side drinks.

      When I first saw a picture of these on pinterest I thought it might be a recipe for a dish I had many years ago in a pub.
      Hot and Dirty Potatoes. Little potatoes coated in an olive and chilli mix. Hot from the chillies and dirty looking from the olives.
      It wasn't but it sounded so good I tried it anyway.
      Pucka recipe!

      These were amazing! It was just my wife and I so we added extra cayenne pepper like you suggest on the cajun seasoning page. They were great, will be making them again!

        Thanks for coming back and commenting James.
        I like them with more spice too. They work so well with the sour cream don't they?
