Ingredients
For the Potatoes
- 1 lb Baby Potatoes boiled until tender, then peeled
- 1 tsp Chili Flakes or to taste
- 1 tsp Italian Herbs dried
- 1/2 tsp Thyme dried
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Salt or to taste
For the Cheese Sauce
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 4 oz Cheese cubed, processed, such as velveeta
- 1/4 cup Milk
- 1 tbsp Milk Powder
- 1/2 tsp Paprika for the sauce and garnish
Instructions
Roast the Potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the boiled and peeled baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, chili flakes, Italian herbs, and thyme. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Make the Cheese Sauce
- In a small saucepan, whisk together milk and milk powder. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the milk powder dissolves and the mixture begins to thicken. Reduce heat to low. Add the cubed processed cheese and stir until it melts completely and forms a smooth, creamy sauce. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Remove from heat.
Assemble and Serve
- Arrange the roasted potatoes on a serving platter. Pour the cheese sauce generously over the potatoes. Sprinkle extra paprika on top for a vibrant finish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Cajun Cheese Potatoes
- For extra flavor, use a combination of fresh and dried herbs.
- If you don't have milk powder, you can substitute with a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp cold water) to thicken the cheese sauce.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. A blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack would be delicious.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the potatoes or cheese sauce.
