I need help with a vital fall conundrum: what to put on the potatoes I’m roasting. I’m bored of my go-tos and seeking new ideas for low-effort cookie sheet flavors. Dump all your favorite spices, spice combos, and potato opinions here.

    Not sure if these overlap with your current go-to’s, but here’s a couple of ways I season my roasted potatoes. Assume all are drizzled heavily in olive oil:

    • Cajun seasoning (unsure of specific ingredients, but sold in a shaker as just “Cajun seasoning”)
    • Black, red, and green peppers, salt, garlic, onion, parsley, paprika (often sold premixed in a grinder as “Steakhouse seasoning”)
    • Rosemary, black/red pepper, garlic, onion, dried tomato flakes, parsley (often sold premixed in a grinder as “Italian herb”)
    • Salt, pepper, and basil

    Fair warning: I’ll eat literal cardboard if you put enough olive oil and basil on it.

      Cajun seasoning will likely consist of paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, cayenne, salt, and pepper. I’ll toss some cumin in there too, mostly because I toss cumin in anything I can.

        Sounds about right for the flavor profile. I didn’t want to guess since it didn’t break down the specific ingredients on the jar. Thanks for that!
