Cajon Potatoes ala Barbeque Nation

During last summer holidays, we went back for a home trip for almost a month and during that time we made a quick trip to Chennai for a week.  While we were in Chennai we went to Barbeque Nation for lunch and they served this amazing potato salad that I loved so much and so did my youngest. I tried googling for the recipe and finally after a few months I came across this recipe which is apparently from a chef at Barbeque Nation! Thank you so much Chef, because with this recipe, I can finally make this potato salad that my son enjoys. Even my husband who dislikes potatoes, likes this recipe. I guess it is called Cajun Potatoes.

Ingredients

1 lb baby potatoes, washed and parboiled (just boil baby potatoes for about 5 mins and drain)
vegetable oil for deep frying.

for the cajun dressing:

original recipe calls for
1/4 cup of thousand island dressing
1/2 tsp of chilly powder
1/2 tsp of chaat masala
1 small shallot chopped

my version (tweaked as usual)
1/4 cup vegan mayo (I used Hampton Creek's vegan mayo - this is Gods answer to my prayers for a perfect vegan mayo
1 tablespoon of tomato ketchup
1 tsp of sriracha sauce
1 tsp chilly powder
1 tsp chaat masala
1 small shallot chopped

1 tablespoon of brown sugar

1/2 tsp of lime juice

Directions:

1. Prepare the sauce. Mix all the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl and leave it the fridge for about 1 hour or more since we want a cold dressing.
2. In  a deep pan heat some vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, deep fry the potatoes until they are crispy.
5. Add the hot crispy potatoes into the cold sajun dressing and serve.

Note.
1. Prepare the dressing in well and keep it in the fridge.
2. Deep fry the potatoes when you are ready to serve the food.
3. Adding the hot potatoes into the cold dressing helps to keep the potatoes crispy.

My husband and sons said that my version was better than the one they had at Barbeque Nation! :)
