Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I heated the olive oil in my large pot over medium heat. Once it was hot, I added the onions, carrots, and celery, stirring them until they were fragrant and the onions turned translucent. Next, I tossed in the minced garlic and sautéed for about a minute until the aroma filled my kitchen—nothing like the scent of garlic to make you feel at home! After that, I added the diced potatoes and the Cajun seasoning, mixing everything together. This was the part where the magic really began! The spices coated the potatoes beautifully, giving me a taste of what was to come. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
