CAJUN HOME FRIES
Ingredients
- 3 large russet potatoes, scrubbed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- ½ medium red bell pepper, diced
- ½ medium green bell pepper, diced
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 3 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, or to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pierce potatoes with a fork and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour. Let cool completely, 15 to 20 minutes. Dice potatoes, leaving the skin on.
- Heat a large cast iron frying pan or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil. When hot, add onion, bell peppers, and garlic. Saute until veggies have softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add potatoes, butter, thyme, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Top with parsley.
