Start Here: About Don't Need Much Money

Don't Need Much Money is exactly what it sounds like: a site about needing less, so you have more. More time. More freedom. More room to actually live. The idea is simple. The less money you need to survive, the more time you have to thrive. Lower your living costs, live a healthy lifestyle focused on longevity and mobility, stay out of debt, and build a little savings, and you buy yourself something far more valuable than money: time. Time to do what you actually love, spend with people you care about, and put toward things that matter. This site is my own real life running that experiment. Most of what you'll find here are recipes and day-to-day habits. They aren't filler posts, it's intentional. Cooking from scratch, buying smart, wasting less, eating well, and staying healhty, fit, and limber all without spending much are some of the most direct ways I practice this philosophy day to day. This blog doubles as my own recipe box and exercise notes, and I share it b...

Cajun Roasted Potatoes

I had some leftover Yukon gold potatoes from Thanksgiving and wanted to roast them as a quick weekend brunch item. However, I wanted a different flavor profile than the salt, pepper, and rosemary that I did for Thanksgiving. I figured a cajun spice flavor would go really nicely. And boy did it. These were delicious! And so quick and easy. Be sure to give these a shot for brunch, lunch, dinner, or a healthy snack.

Ingredients

  • 5-6 medium potatoes (I prefer Yukon Gold)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black or cayenne pepper (depending on desired heat level)
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp dried thyme (or 1 tbsp fresh)
  • olive oil for drizzling
Directions
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Grab a rimmed baking sheet and lightly coat the bottom with olive oil or non-stick spray.
  • Measure the dry seasonings in a small cup or bowl and set aside.
  • Wash the potatoes and cut them into half inch chunks.
  • Spread them out on the baking sheet and drizzle lightly with olive oil.
  • Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the potatoes and mix the potatoes around to coat them evenly with oil and seasoning.
  • Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Give the potatoes a stir and redistribute them evenly. Bake for another 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and enjoy.
