Cajun Boiled Potatoes

Ingredients

1/2 gallon water
2 lbs red potatoes, cut in half
2 tbs black pepper, whole
2 tbs kosher salt
2 oz liquid crab boil
12 toes garlic, peeled
1/2 large onion, sliced
1 stalk celery, sliced


Directions

In a small saucepot, add all ingredients. Bring to a boil and then simmer. Cook about 25 minutes, or until potatoes are soft. Cool down to stop cooking. In a small saucepan, heat two tbs of butter. Add potatoes and saute until brown. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Crab boil

2 parts dried bay leaves; broken into small pieces
2 parts fine ground cayenne pepper
4 parts celery seeds
4 parts dried coriander seeds
8 parts dried brown mustard seeds
2 parts dried whole black peppercorns
1 part dried whole allspice berries
1 part dried whole clove buds
2 parts dried crushed red pepper flakes
2 parts dried thyme leaves

Combine all ingredients and put in a sealed jar. When ready to use, put in a fine mesh cloth pouch. This is so you don't have to try and separate the spices out once cooked. You can just remove the bag and the spices never get mixed in with the potatoes.

Do you prefer onion or red (purple) onion? Which one is better for this meal?

Personally I would not buy a red onion just for this. To me an onion is an onion in taste, so what you are really buying is eye candy. As always it's your choice. Eye candy might be important to you for photos.
