Steps

40 minutes

1

Firstly make the Dip for the Cajun Potatoes
Mix together the eggless mayonnaise Cajun Spice Mix, lemon juice, chopped onions, Pepper and Salt and set aside.
2

Preparing the baby Potatoes
Scrub the baby potatoes and wash them thoroughly to get rid of any dirt.
3

Boil or pressure cook the baby potatoes (with skin) in salted water till just tender or 3/4th done.
Let the potatoes cool.
4

Using a heavy spoon or your palms, squash each baby potato till the skin just splits.
5

In a shallow pan, heat about 2 teaspoons of olive oil and shallow fry the baby potatoes 5-6 at a time turning them occasionally until they become golden and crisp on all sides
6

Take out on a plate with a slotted spoon, to drain all excess oil.
7

Arrange the baby potatoes in a plate and drizzle a generous amount of prepared cajun sauce or dip on each potato, sprinkle chilli flakes, garnish with cilantro and serve immediately.
8

My tip
Potatoes and the dip can be served separately as per the choice.
9

For preparing the homemade cajun spice mix - Stir together salt, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, onion powder, cayenne pepper, oregano, thyme, and red pepper flakes until evenly blended. Store in an airtight container.
It can be used for more then six months if kept in dry and cool conditions.
