Perfect potatoes aren't difficult. These cajun-style spuds are parboiled and coated in spices like cayenne, cumin, and garlic powder before a quick pan fry for that crispy outside, creamy inside balance.


serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  under 30 minutes

ingredients

4 large Yukon Gold or russet potatoes, peeled if desired
salted water, as needed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups oil, for frying

directions

Bring a large pan of salted water to a boil over high heat.

Cut the potatoes into cubes or chunky slices (the potatoes should be cut in uniform sizes so they cook evenly). Add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook for about 6-8 minutes or until just fork tender. Drain the potatoes well and let cool slightly.

Combine the salt, white pepper, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, and cayenne in a large bowl. Stir the potatoes into the spice mixture, tossing gently to coat the potatoes thoroughly in the seasoning.

Heat the oil in a wok or deep, heavy skillet over medium-high heat (approximately 365 degrees F). Add the potatoes to the wok and cook, turning the potatoes as needed, until golden brown on all sides.

Remove the potatoes from the oil with a slotted spoon and let drain on paper toweling for 1-2 minutes. Serve the Cajun fried potatoes hot.
