Creole Potatoes

Dutch Oven Creole Potatoes and peas flavored with homemade creole seasoning. This recipe takes very little effort to make that even the most cooking challenged person can make it

I made these potatoes and peas as a side dish!

However, I think I can eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

I can eat the whole batch of these creole potatoes and peas! You might even see me licking the dutch oven!

Tips for making them

• Use the Dutch Oven because it cooks the potatoes and peas to perfection! They won’t be mushy or under cooked. The dutch oven cooks them evenly, so, I love using it for this recipe
• Do not stir the ingredients until the very end. This will make sure that they remain soft and delicious
• Don’t forget to spray the inside of the Dutch oven before adding the potatoes. I made this recipe 2 times because I forgot to put oil the bottom. Took quite a bit of elbow grease to remove the stuck on potatoes and peas!
• After adding the potatoes to the dutch oven, be sure to even out the potatoes. Try to avoid the potatoes stacking on top of each other
• Do NOT thaw the frozen peas. This is the most important tip of this recipe. You will loose texture and taste of the sweet peas. Let the steaming system of the Dutch oven cook the frozen peas. You will have the best tasting peas you have ever tasted
• You can refrigerate or freeze these potatoes and peas. I recommend reheating them in the Dutch oven, if possible because they will taste like you just made them

Why make it in Dutch oven?

The Dutch oven is fairly new kitchen gadget to me. My first use of it was when I made my Vegan Paella in it.

I saw how evenly it cooked the quinoa and I was immediately sold on its value. All the flavors were evenly distributed giving it a delicious flavor

Its incredible enamel Dutch oven knows how to cook food. I didn’t have to do anything more than dumping the ingredients into it. I think the less you do in the dutch oven, the better it cooks the food

Take my word for it when I say that I have never had such perfectly cooked potatoes like they turned out in this Creole potatoes recipe. They weren’t mushy like when I cook stove top or in the pressure cooker.

So, don’t be surprised if you start seeing more vegan Dutch oven recipes on my blog.

What makes it creole?

I had a spicy creole potato salad about 10 years ago that was so good because of all the right spices were blended together. This spices were then mixed with the potatoes to give it a very unique flavor

So, I thought I would try and re-create it, but, put my own spin on it. These Creole potatoes is more of a side dish and not a salad recipe which makes it more appealing to everyone

Creole cooking, to me, is about getting the right spice for any ingredient. I love trying to figure out what spice will go best with broccoli or squash. There is a soul-satisfying experience when eating Creole recipes

In this recipe, I also got to use the best creole seasoning recipe ever! I am tooting my own horn here because it is that good. Plus, it takes less than 5 minutes to blend the spices together which means we don’t have any excuse not to make it
