Cajun Potatoes | Cajun Spiced Potato | How To Make Cajun Sauce

Cajun potatoes are one of the best recipes you will add as a side dish or appetizer for your Diwali Party, Thanksgiving, or Christmas dinner menu. Can be prepared in under 30 minutes.

Cajun Potatoes are crispy on the outside, creamy, and melt in the mouth on the inside. These are finger licking and lip smacking good, and I bet you can’t stop by just eating one.

Ingredients

20 Baby Potatoes

For the Cajun Sauce

¾ cup Mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon Black pepper powder
1 teaspoon Onion powder
1 tablespoon Garlic powder
1 teaspoon Red chile powder (adjust to your spice level, I use paprika/kashmiri mirch for color)
1 teaspoon Mixed herbs (thyme, rosemary, parsley, oregano, etc.)
½ teaspoon Salt
½ cup Milk (adjust accordingly)

To make Crispy Potatoes

4 tablespoon Cornflour
2 tablespoon All purpose flour (Maida)
½ teaspoon Salt
½ cup Water (adjust to get a runny batter)
Oil for frying

Instructions

Step 1 - Boil the Potatoes

Nicely wash and cook the potatoes in the way you prefer. I generally pressure cook the potatoes with skin-on for 2 whistles.
20 Baby Potatoes
Flatten each cooked potato slightly, as shown in the video for cajun potatoes.

Step 2 - Prepare the Cajun Sauce

In a bowl, add mayonnaise, pepper flakes, black pepper powder, onion and garlic powder, red chile powder, mixed herbs, salt, milk, and whisk to form a sauce of smooth consistency. Keep this aside. If your sauce remains too thick, you can thin it down with more milk.
¾ cup Mayonnaise, 1 tsp Red pepper flakes, ½ tsp Black pepper powder, 1 tsp Onion powder, 1 tbsp Garlic powder, 1 tsp Red chile powder, 1 tsp Mixed herbs, ½ tsp Salt, ½ cup Milk

Make Crispy Potatoes

In a bowl, add cornflour, all-purpose flour, salt, and water to form a thin-flowing batter. Check out the video for making crispy potatoes.
4 tbsp Cornflour, 2 tbsp All purpose flour, ½ tsp Salt, ½ cup Water
Heat oil in a pan on a medium flame for frying. Dip each flattened potato in this batter and drop it in oil. Fry until crisp and golden brown on both sides, and it should take about 2 to 3 minutes of frying on each side.
Oil
Transfer it to a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.

Assemble Cajun Potatoes

On a serving plate, place the fried potatoes. Spoon cajun sauce over it. Garnish it with some finely chopped onions, coriander leaves (cilantro), and pepper flakes. Garnishing is optional. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Baby potatoes give you the best results. If you cannot find them, you can use regular ones but make sure you cut them into quarters or large chunks.
Vary the spices and flavorings to taste.
If you do not have onion and garlic powder, you can use finely chopped (or paste) fresh onion and garlic.
Potatoes can be grilled, baked, shallow fried, or deep-fried.
