How to make Cajun potatoes
Get the hard part out of the way first and dice the 6 potatoes. I like to leave the skin on. The smaller you dice, the crispier the potatoes will be.
Place the diced potatoes on an air fryer rack and coat with melted butter. An easy way to do this is to use a basting brush.
Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning to your desired taste. I like to use 1 tablespoon, but if you like things a little more bold, add more.
Air fry the potatoes for 15 minutes at 375 degrees, then take a spatula and flip the potatoes.
Return them to the air fryer and air fry them for an additional 5 minutes.
Now they are crisp, and yummy and ready to enjoy! I love to serve these Air fryer Cajun potatoes with grilled pork chops. They are also great for breakfast with a side of eggs.

Frequently asked questions
These potatoes would be great with a buttermilk fried chicken sandwich, cheesy chicken and broccoli casserole, or this slow cooker pork roast.
I used white (or russet) potatoes, but they would also work with Yukon gold or red potatoes.
You'll want to be sure that the potatoes are not over crowded in the air fryer pan. If they are, they won't experience browning and crisping on all sides.
Make meal planning easy
I am a big fan of Eat At Home Meal Plans. Are you stressed about the cost of eating out or trying to decide what to make for dinner each night? Sign up for the plans, and get access to 4 separate meal plans each month (Traditional, Wholesome Traditional, Slow Cooker, and No Flour/No Sugar). Just print the plans, color-coded grocery lists, and recipes you want for the month. Don't worry, there are so many options, even picky eaters will find something they like.
When it is time for dinner, make that night’s recipe (choices include make-ahead, freezer meals, slow-cooker recipes, and other time-saving strategies) and you are all set.
I know you have more important things to do than meal planning. Let someone else do it for you with Eat At Home Meal Plans. Monthly, quarterly and annual plans are available.
