Barbeque Nation Style Cajun Potatoes Recipe

Cajun potatoes recipe – Barbeque Nation Style Cajun Spiced Potatoes Recipe a signature starter dish served in a popular restaurant named Barbeque nation.

Cajun potatoes the first time I tasted it was at Barbeque Nation(a popular buffet restaurant) and was bowled out by this idea of crisp potaotes in a spiced mayo sauce.

Actually I was admiring amma relishing it even among all other nonveg starters so that moment I thought should recreate it at home.But the time didn’t come for me to try it until I saw the ingredients for cajun potatoes listed in a newspaper.The very next day I tried it and we all enjoyed it.And guess what amma said its so good that I love this more than the one we had there.What more can I ask for?! Yes it was similar to the one I tasted it at the restaurant and this is undoubtedly one of the best restaurant style dishes I recreated at home in the recent times.

Cajun cusine is a style of cooking named for the French and Barbequeing is one the cajun cooking methods.Cajun cuisine is sometimes referred to as a ‘rustic cuisine’, meaning that it is based on locally available ingredients and preparation is relatively simple.(Reference : wikipedia).So I guess its because of the simple available ingredients this dish is named so.

Notes

Always fry in batches.The potatoes should be crisp.
Don't make a thick batter and coating, the coating should be mild on the potatoes.
If you have onion powder add it, I didnt have so added raw onion while serving.
Garlic powder is must in this recipe so don't skip it.
Adjust spice powders according to your taste and preference.
