Method

Making the Cajun Mayonnaise Dressing:

- Firstly, mix together the mayonnaise, tomato ketchup, and all the spices mentioned in the Cajun Mayonnaise Dressing ingredients section in a bowl.

- Set aside. You can add 1-2 tablespoons of milk if the dressing is too thick. I usually add milk to get the right consistency.

Preparing the Potatoes:

- Scrub the baby potatoes to get rid of any dirt.

- Cook the baby potatoes with skin till just tender (90% cooked). You can either use

Instant Pot - 'MANUAL / PRESSURE COOK' for 4 minutes on HIGH and quick release manually. Here is the detailed recipe for Instant Pot Boiled Potatoes.

Stovetop Pressure Cooker - Cook for 1 whistle.

Microwave - For 5 minutes or till tender.

Stovetop Pot - Boil the potatoes for 10-15 minutes.

- Finally, drain the water and let the potatoes cool.

- Now place the potatoes on a chopping board, using a heavy spoon, press each baby potato till the skin just splits (do not break).

- Sprinkle some cornflour on the potatoes and mix until the potatoes are lightly coated on both sides.

- In a shallow pan, heat some oil on a medium-high flame, shallow fry the coated baby potatoes till they turn a crispy and golden brown color. You can also deep fry.

- Lastly, lay the crispy potatoes on a serving plate. Add Cajun Mayonnaise Dressing on each potato along with finely chopped onions & coriander.

- Serve crispy creamy cajun spiced potatoes immediately.
