Ingredients
- 2 lb yellow potatoes diced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ tablespoons Cajun Seasoning recipe in notes
- minced parsley to serve
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the potatoes, olive oil, and Cajun seasoning to a large bowl and mix well.
- Transfer the potatoes to the baking sheet and spread them out so that they're in a single layer and none are touching each other.
- Roast the potatoes for 35-40 minutes (no need to mix them) until they are crispy on the outside and soft inside. Serve the potatoes with a little minced parsley over the top, if you'd like.
