  • 1-2 hot pepper sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp Cajun spice
  • 4 potatoes

Instructions

Step Instructions
1 In a bowl, mix together the butter, cider vinegar, hot pepper sauce, and Cajun spice until well combined. This flavorful sauce will be the key to giving your potato wedges that irresistible Cajun kick!
2 Next, prepare your potatoes by cutting them into quarters to form wedges. Make sure they’re evenly sized for even cooking.
3 Toss the potato wedges in the prepared sauce, ensuring each wedge is coated generously. Let them marinate in the sauce for a few minutes to soak up all those delicious flavors.
4 While the potatoes are marinating, preheat your grill to medium heat. This will ensure that your wedges cook evenly and develop that perfect crispy exterior.
5 Once the grill is preheated, place the potato wedges on the warming rack or about 6 inches from the heat. Cook them for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally and brushing with additional sauce, until they’re tender and golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning!
6 Once cooked to perfection, remove the potato wedges from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. These flavorful Rajun Cajun Potato Wedges are best enjoyed hot and crispy, served alongside your favorite dipping sauce like ranch dressing. Enjoy!
