2. Prepare the Cajun Spice Mix: In a mixer or grinder, add the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika powder, dried thyme leaves, dried oregano, and salt. Pulse or blend these spices together until they are well combined into a fragrant mix.

3. Mix Oil and Spice Blend: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil with the prepared spice mix. Stir well to create a smooth, flavorful marinade.

4. Coat the Potatoes: Cut the potatoes into wedges. Using a pastry brush, generously coat each potato wedge with the spice-oil mixture. Ensure all the wedges are evenly coated to achieve full flavor.

5. Marinate the Potatoes: Allow the potato wedges to marinate in the spice mix for about 15 minutes. This step ensures the potatoes absorb the seasoning.

6. Prepare the Baking Tray: Grease an ovenproof dish or a baking sheet with a little oil. Arrange the marinated potato wedges in a single layer on the tray, making sure they are not overcrowded. This allows for even baking and crispiness.

7. Bake the Potatoes: Place the tray in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on all sides. Halfway through the baking time (around 15 minutes), flip the potato wedges to ensure they cook evenly and get a crispy texture on both sides.

8. Serve the Potatoes: Once the potatoes are perfectly crispy and golden, remove them from the oven. Immediately top with finely chopped onion and fresh coriander leaves for a burst of color and freshness.

9. Enjoy! Serve the hot Cajun Style Potatoes as a delightful tea-time snack or as a side dish to your favorite meal. Pair with tomato sauce for a tangy dip or enjoy with Tzatziki, a cool Greek yogurt dip, for added richness. For an extra indulgence, serve alongside a hot cup of Irani chai.

Tips for Perfect Cajun Style Potatoes:

• Even Slicing: Try to cut the potato wedges evenly so they cook uniformly. This ensures all wedges are crispy and golden.
• For Extra Crispiness: If you prefer extra-crunchy potatoes, you can preheat the baking sheet in the oven before placing the potatoes on it. This helps give the potatoes a crispy texture right from the start.
• Vary the Seasoning: You can adjust the spice level according to your preference. Add more paprika or even some chili powder for extra heat.
• Resting the Potatoes: Allowing the potatoes to rest after baking helps to retain their crispiness and flavor.
