Cajun-Spiced Potatoes
This Cajun-inspired side dish of potatoes is a perfect accompaniment to grilled steak or chicken.
You can use any kind of potato you like—we prefer Yukon golds.
Ingredients
-
4 large Yukon Gold or red-skinned potatoes, unpeeled
-
3 small red onions, cut into 8 wedges each
-
1 lemon, cut into 6 wedges
-
12 garlic cloves
-
4 bay leaves
-
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
1 tablespoon tomato paste
-
1 teaspoon each paprika, dried oregano and dried thyme
-
1/2 teaspoon each ground cumin and cayenne pepper
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
Freshly ground black pepper
-
1/3 cup water
Instructions
- Cut potatoes into thick wedges. Place in a large pot, cover with salted water, and cook 3 minutes. Drain well and place on 2 (15 x 10-inch) rimmed baking sheets with the onions, lemon, garlic and bay leaves.
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Whisk together remaining ingredients. Pour evenly over potatoes. Toss well to coat.
- Roast 30 to 40 minutes, until potatoes are tender and liquid has been almost completely absorbed. Turn potatoes frequently during cooking using a spatula.
