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.
