Lego Potato Bites with Chipotle Ranch

Ingredients

• 4–6 potatoes (as many as you'd like)
• Cajun butter (melted butter + Cajun seasoning)
• Grated Parmesan
• Chopped parsley

Chipotle Ranch

• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 diced chipotle pepper (from a can of chipotles in adobo)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp fresh dill
• 1/4 tsp sea salt

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Slice the potatoes lengthwise into half-inch slices. Use metal skewers to cut about 1/4 inch apart, then turn the potato 90° and cut the same way to crosshatch. Cut into quarters and square off into bricks.
• Slather in Cajun butter and roast for about 30 minutes.
• While they roast, stir together all the chipotle ranch ingredients.
• For the last few minutes, set the oven to broil until the potatoes have a nice char.
• Garnish with parsley and Parmesan and serve with the chipotle ranch.

NOTE: Crosshatch the potatoes with metal skewers to get the Lego-brick look. From Tom Judkins | The Backyard Palate on Instagram.
