Ingredients
3 pounds red potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon salt-free Cajun seasoning
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 to 3 teaspoons cayenne pepper sauce
Directions
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly oil it for easy cleanup.
Toss the cut red potato pieces with the olive oil until all pieces are evenly coated.
In a small bowl, combine the salt-free Cajun seasoning and kosher salt. Sprinkle this mixture over the oiled potatoes and toss well to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender.
Drizzle 1 to 3 teaspoons of cayenne pepper sauce over the hot roasted potatoes according to your desired heat level, and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
Comments
This recipe delivers on its promise: red potatoes are stocked everywhere in Charlotte, olive oil and salt are pantry staples, and Cajun seasoning is reliably available at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, and Walmart. The real cost driver is volume—a pound of potatoes costs roughly $1.50 to $2, so serving six people runs $3 to $4 total, making it genuinely cheap. The stated 50 minutes is honest if you account for 15 minutes of washing and chopping potatoes, then 35 minutes roasting. This works well as a weeknight side for a family and leftovers reheat perfectly in a 350-degree oven. The main limitation is that it's strictly a side dish, not a complete meal, and the "3 ingredients" framing is slightly misleading since you're reaching for both salt and pepper sauce beyond the headline.
