Cajun Potatoes
You'll love these Cajun Potatoes as they are packed with flavor. They are easy to make and are the perfect side for many meals. Serve them alongside grilled chicken, steak, or fish. Add them to your plate after you grill a burger, or serve them next to a big plate of ribs. The potatoes are boiled until tender, tossed in cajun seasonings, and then roasted to give you a light crunch full of flavor.
