Cajun Roast Potatoes
A spicy, fruity twist on the classic family
roasted spuds.
Serves 4
4 medium roasting potatoes, peeled and cut into
even sized chunks
2 tsp Cajun spices
2 Tbsp olive oil
Fruity salsa:
1 mango, peeled and chopped
1 orange, peeled and chopped
Preheat oven to 200ºC.
To speed up the cooking process, microwave or boil the potatoes first.
Microwave: Rinse with water, drain and place in a large plastic bowl. Cook on high for 5 minutes. Carefully remove potatoes and stand for 1 minute, then drain.
Boil: Place potatoes in a saucepan with enough boiling water to cover. Bring back to the boil then simmer, covered for 10-15 minutes or until tender.
While potatoes are cooking prepare the mango and orange and toss. Combine spices, oil and potatoes on a large baking tray before roasting.
Place in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, turning twice or until golden brown.
Serve the potatoes with the fresh fruity salsa.
