A very popular Cajun classic side dish; add smoked sausage and make it a complete meal. This dish is also known as "La Sauce de Patat" or "the sauce of potato".
There are cooks who do add butter and cream to this dish. |

| Ingredients |
| 6 red potatoes, peeled and cubed |
2 - 3 tbsp Canola or vegetable oil |
| 1 large onion sliced thin |
1 tsp salt (or more) |
| 1 tsp black pepper |
1/2 tsp each red pepper and garlic powder optional |
| paprika for garnish; Tobasco or Hot Sauce to taste |
1/2 cup water |
|
| |
| Directions |
| Sprinkle the potatoes and onions with the seasonings. Place in a cast iron or Teflon coated skillet with the cooking oil over medium heat. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. If you hear the vegetables sizzling, you will need to stir and maybe reduce the heat some. When the potatoes are brown, scrape the bottom of the pot, and add water, stirring to mix. Continue cooking uncovered and stirring as needed to prevent sticking until potatoes are soft throughout. Serve and sprinkle with paprika or more black pepper. Chopped green onions may be added. If adding smoked sausage, add towards the end and heat thoroughly; although there are cooks who like to add it right at the beginning with the potatoes. Serve over rice or as a side dish. |
