These Cajun-roasted potato wedges made the perfect side dish for Fran's slow-cooker chuck roast. Fran picked up a nice chuck roast at the grocery store and decided to slow-roast it in our crockpot.
If I'm going to have a good roast and gravy, I need potatoes. I'm not a fan of adding potatoes to the crockpot while roasting. For me, they always seem to turn out too soft and mushy.
So, just before the roast finished, I made these Cajun-roasted potato wedges in the oven. Potatoes are another versatile side dish. I made these Cajun-style using Penzey's Cajun Seasoning.
You can season your potato wedges with a variety of seasonings. Some options are Italian seasoning, garlic, and butter, or try steak seasoning.
Cajun Roasted Potato Wedges:
Here is all I used:
4 medium white potatoes
Olive oil
Penzeys Cajun Seasoning
Salt and Pepper
Pam non-stick spray
First, I washed the potatoes, cut them in half lengthwise, and cut each half in half again. I put the wedges in a medium bowl and tossed them with olive oil until evenly coated.
I sprayed my cookie sheet with Pam non-stick spray to keep the potatoes from sticking while roasting. Then I generously coated the wedges with salt, pepper, and the Cajun seasoning.
I set the oven to 450 degrees and roasted the wedges for 30 minutes until they were golden brown.

I have to tell you these came out of the oven just perfectly. Crispy and tasty on the outside, nice and firm on the inside. These potatoes were a perfect fit for our slow-roasted chuck roast. This is an easy 30-minute side dish for any meat-and-potatoes meal.
As always, thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy.
