Crispy Smashed Potatoes with Creole Sauce

mayonnaise

creole mustard (or whole grain mustard)

garlic (minced)

lemon juice

worcestershire sauce

hot sauce (such as Frank's Red Hot)

onion powder

garlic powder

black pepper

paprika

Italian seasoning

cayenne pepper

salt

baby red potatoes (rinsed)

olive oil (extra virgin

Salt and black pepper (to taste)

chives and flaked salt (for topping)

To a medium mixing bowl, add mayo, creole mustard, garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, Italian seasoning, and cayenne pepper.

Use a small whisk or fork to mix all the ingredients until combined. Refrigerate the sauce while you prepare the potatoes.

Creole Sauce

Boil potatoes in water until easily pierced with a fork. Drain potatoes and allow them to dry out for about for about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (232 °C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.

Transfer potatoes to a large mixing bowl, add olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and cayenne pepper. Toss everything together with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until all potatoes are coated with the oil and spices.

Transfer potatoes to the prepared baking sheet. Do not discard the oil and spices leftover in the bowl. Use the back of a 1/2 cup measuring cup to smash each potato, being careful not to break them apart. If a few break apart it is fine, just try to keep them intact.

Brush the tops of the potatoes with the remaining oil and spices leftover in the bowl used to coat the potatoes. Bake potatoes in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, until crispy and dark golden brown.

Drizzle potatoes with creole sauce and sprinkle chopped chives over top. Enjoy!

Potatoes

Spicy Cajun potatoes are a great side dish for grilled and roasted meats. They are also delicious chopped up with a soft egg on top, or tossed into egg burritos with a bit of sausage or bacon.

potatoes

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Lightly grease a large baking sheet with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Stir together the spices and the remaining oil in a large mixing bowl.

Wash and dry the potatoes. Slice each of the potatoes in half. Add them to the bowl with the spice mixture and toss well with your hands to thoroughly coat.

Spread the potatoes across the baking pan. Roast for 30 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and beginning to crisp.

Stir with a metal spatula and roast an additional 10 minutes until lightly browned and crisp. Serve with soft butter on the side, for dipping.

These were so good!  Easy to make and my family loved them.  Definitely a recipe I will be making again soon!
