Cajun Smashed Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a simmer and add the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook until fork tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes in a large colander. Place them back into the dry pot and put the pot on the stove. Mash the potatoes over low heat, allowing all of the steam to escape.
• Turn off the heat before adding the butter, cream cheese, heavy cream and Cajun Seasoning. Mash, mash, mash! Next, add the seasoning salt, salt and pepper. Mash to combine.
• Place the lid on the pan to keep the potatoes warm until you are ready to serve.
• Combine the garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, salt and cayenne.

Steps:

• Boil potatoes for 30 min in salted water drain potatoes and let steam off for 5 min add butter, onions and seasonings then hand mash until smooth gradually hand mash in grated cheese... serve hot...microwave covered if needed to reheat

Steps:

• Boil your potatoes whole in water until just fork tender. Drain and fill with very cold water. Set aside, draining water and adding fresh cold water as it gets warm.
• Meanwhile, while that cools down you can start prepping your veggies.
• Once potatoes are cooled (about 25 minutes) drain them and dice into roughly 1 inch cubes, keeping the skin on.
• In large frying pan (Tom always used an old Wok, and it seemed to work really well) heat your peanut oil and a tablespoon of butter. Add onion, celery, bell pepper and half of the Creole seasoning. Sauté on Med-high until the onions start to get translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
• Add rest of butter and garlic. Once the butter has mostly melted add your potatoes. Stir to coat them with the buttery goodness. Add parsley, thyme and rest of Creole seasoning. Let cook for another 5-6 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pan to avoid sticking and to mix the crispy bits into the potatoes.
• They should start to look a little creamy/smashed by this point.
• Stir in hot sauce and garnish with green onions.
• Now all you need are a couple of fried eggs, some spicy Louisiana sausage patties and some fresh biscuits with jam. Don't forget the coffee with chicory!

Steps:

• Wash the potatoes and cut into 1" squares. LEAVE the skins on the potatoes.
• Boil the potatoes in a large pot for 15-20 minutes or until the skins freely separate from the potatoes.
• A few minutes prior to draining the potatoes, put the butter, salt, pepper, and cream cheese in a small bowl and microwave until soft.
• Add the Mrs. Dash seasoning and mix thoroughly.
• When the potatoes are done, drain the water from them but leave them in the pot.
• Pour the cheese/butter/seasoning mixture on top. Add milk, a little at a time, until the consistency is as you like it.
• Mix thoroughly with a potato masher, adding up to more milk if desired.
• Serve hot.
