All you have to do to serve up these crispy little bites is mix all the ingredients in a bowl, pop them in the oven, and just like that you’ve got the perfect side on the table!

Paprika Onion powder Garlic powder Thyme Oregano Salt & pepper Cayenne
Is Cajun seasoning spicy?
Cajun seasoning can be described as zesty, smoky, bold, spicy, as well as earthy. In terms of heat, Cajun seasoning can be mild to spicy. It’s the paprika and cayenne spices that are used in Cajun seasoning and contribute to the heat level. If you are using store-bought Cajun seasoning, try adding a little bit at a time until you get the desired flavor. On the other hand, when you make your own spice mix you get to control how hot it is.
Yellow potatoes: Use 2 lb of yellow potatoes (or yukon gold) for this recipe. Dice them into uniform bite-sized pieces so that they cook evenly and crisp up nicely in the oven. Olive oil: This will coat your potatoes and help the seasoning stick to the taters. Cajun seasoning: You can follow this cajun seasoning recipe to get your spice blend just right (it’s also listed in the recipe card below), or you can use a store-bought spice mix. Parsley: Chop up some fresh parsley to toss on top of your potatoes once out of the oven. This will give a bright, fresh element to your side dish.
Try serving them with a side of Cajun mayo – it’s delicious! Pulling potatoes out of the oven that are just not hitting the mark when it comes to crispiness is a bummer. Here’s a couple of tips to get perfectly crisp Cajun potatoes:
