You can’t tell if it’s made at home or if your dining at your favourite place. Do try out my restaurant style veg crispy and falafels

Procedure to make Barbeque nation style cajun potatoes

Add all the seasoning mentioned under cajun spice mix and mix well
-
Add in tomato sauce/ketchup and a pinch of salt according to your taste and mix well again. (If your seasoning has added salt, then check before adding)
-
Now add the chopped onion to it.
-
Sprinkle some fresh coriander too
-
Now add the potatoes to the sauce and mix nicely making sure that they’re well coated in the sauce. (If using baby potatoes then flatten them from the top and pour the sauce over it before serving)

Tips/ Serving suggestion
- If you plan to make the sauce in advance then refrigerate it so as to serve it cold along with the potatoes.
- Do not add extremely hot potatoes to the sauce or it may break down the sauce.
- If you dont wish to mix the potatoes to the sauce then just pour the sauce over them.
- You could even add onion just at the end before serving to retain its crunchiness
