Questions

How do I know when Cajun Potato Cake is done?

Go by the cues in the method rather than the clock. Step 4: cook until golden brown and crispy.

What can I use instead of Cajun seasoning in Cajun Potato Cake?

The entry for Cajun Potato Cake calls for 2 tsp Cajun seasoning. In its place: Two parts paprika to one part each of garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, oregano and cayenne, with salt.

Can I make Cajun Potato Cake gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in Cajun Potato Cake is 1/2 cup breadcrumbs. Swap the bread or crumbs for a gluten-free loaf or gluten-free panko. Everything else proceeds as written.

Does Cajun Potato Cake contain eggs?

Yes: 1 egg, beaten. The full allergen list for this entry is gluten and eggs. Packaged ingredients vary by brand, so check labels if the allergy is serious.

How long does Cajun Potato Cake keep?

Refrigerate what is left of Cajun Potato Cake within two hours and eat it within three days. Reheat uncovered in a 400 F oven (or an air fryer) for a few minutes to bring the crust back; the microwave softens it. Potatoes turn grainy in the freezer, so keep this one in the refrigerator.
