Crab-Boil Potatoes
"I first tried these delicious little potatoes while in New Orleans but did not think to get a recipe. I have adapted this recipe to match the taste as best I can. They are somewhat adaptable, you can adjust the spice level to your own preference - these are what I would consider a medium level (I ususally use a bit more spice b/c I like things spicy!)"
- Ready In:
- 10mins
- Ingredients:
- 4
- Serves:
-
8
ingredients
- 3 lbs red potatoes
- 1 tablespoon tony chachere's original creole seasoning (you could use regular salt)
- 3 tablespoons liquid crab boil (or 1 bag of the dry kind)
- 2 ounces hot sauce (not Tabasco- the flavor isn't right)
directions
- Place the potatoes (I like mine cut up but you could keep them whole) in a pot and add just enough water to cover the potatoes. Add the crab boil.
- Bring the water to a rolling boil then add Tony Chacheres (or salt) and the hot sauce.
- Allow the potatoes to boil until they are fork-tender (5-10 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes and whether you cut them or left them whole).
- Drain the potatoes and allow them to sit for 5 minutes or so.
- You can serve these hot, or allow them to cool (the flavor gets stronger as they cool) and serve them at room temperature.

Love these potatoes. First had them at Deanie's Restaurant in New Orleans. The serve them as soon as you sit down. Your recipe is terrific. I do add 4-6 cut up celery sticks and quartered spanish onion once boiling commences. Serve potatoes and veggies in a large bowl with melted butter. For a complete meal I add sliced Black Forest ham. What a meal!! But it all starts with the beautiful, tasty crab-boil potatoes. Thanks so much, and I'm going to prepare this meal right now. Cheers from Canada.

I am just now beginning to discover my passion for cooking. When I got married to the love of my life in October of 2007, I started letting him do the cooking because he enjoyed it and would have continued that way if not for a schedule shift that made it necessary for me to take over dinner responsibilities.
