Cheesy Cajun Loaded Wedges are a delicious and flavorful appetizer or side dish featuring crispy potato wedges topped with melted cheese, Cajun seasoning, and other tasty toppings. Hereβs how to make them:
Ingredients:
4 large russet potatoes, washed and scrubbed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
1/4 cup sliced green onions (scallions)
1/4 cup sour cream
Hot sauce, for serving (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Cut each potato into wedges by slicing them in half lengthwise, then cutting each half into 2-3 wedges, depending on the size of the potato.
Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss until the wedges are evenly coated.
Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not crowded to ensure crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the wedges are golden and crispy.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the hot potato wedges.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once the cheese has melted, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the loaded wedges with cooked and crumbled bacon and sliced green onions.
Serve the cheesy Cajun loaded wedges hot, with a dollop of sour cream on top and hot sauce on the side for extra heat, if desired.
Enjoy your delicious and flavorful appetizer or side dish!
These loaded potato wedges are perfect for serving at parties, game days, or as a tasty snack or side dish any time youβre craving something indulgent and satisfying. Adjust the toppings and seasoning according to your taste preferences.
