Cajun Boiled Red Potatoes Recipes

CAJUN BOILED RED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes in large stock pot. Add enough water to cover potatoes.
• Stir in liquid crab boil and salt. Let potatoes boil until fork tender, about 20 minutes. Lower heat to medium and periodically pierce potatoes with a fork to check if they're done.
• When potatoes are done turn off the stove and let them soak in the pot for 15 minutes to soak up the seasoning.
• Drain potatoes and cut into fourths. Place red potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add cajun seasoning (how much you like) and parsley flakes.
• Melt butter in a microwave safe dish. Pour over potatoes and mix together.
• Sprinkle potatoes lightly with more cajun seasoning and garnish with fresh parsley.
• Serve while warm.

WAY TOO EASY CAJUN POTATOES

Steps:

• Pre heat oven to about 375-400.
• With a fork score all over the potatoes (peeled or not), this will make them more crisp.
• Chop the potatoes into 1 1/2-2 inch chunks.
• Put the oil in the pan (warming the pan first is good, but not vital), add potatoes, sprinkle all seasonings over (go easy with the salt; more can be added after cooking) and toss and stir potatoes with two forks until all chunks are coated.
• Bake for 15 mins, stir well (again with the forks), bake a further 10-15 minutes.
• Note: If you've nuked them, the potatoes will need a little less time. Watch them towards the last few minutes.

CAJUN BOILED POTATOES

Steps:

• 1. In a large pot, stir spices into 5 quarts of water. If using new potatoes, wash them and put into the pan of water. If using medium potatoes, wash, cut the eyes from, and quarter them lengthwise and place in the pan. (Leave skin on) Boil over medium high heat until tender. (Check by inserting fork) Boil ten more minutes. When potatoes are tender turn off heat and let sit in spices for a minimum of 10 minutes before serving. Serve with real butter, not margarine. (Hint) after cooling the skin is easily removed from these potatoes and they make really good potato salad.
