Steps:
- Oil and spices. In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, half of the cajun spice, half of the paprika spice, garlic and onion powder, salt, pepper to taste.
- Place each cob on a piece of foil. Brush each corn generously with the mixture. Wrap in foil. It is fine if you have extra oil-spices mixture left, you can brush the corn later, right before brushing with the mayo sauce.
- Transfer the corn to the oven and bake for 30 minutes at 425 F. If you like the corn to be softer, remove it from the oven after 30 minutes, brush it with more oil-spice mixture and bake another 20-25 minutes.
- While cajun corn on the cob is baking, prepare the mayo sauce. In a medium bowl, mix mayo, sour cream, leftover cajun and paprika, lime juice (or squeeze it later directly on the corn as needed), salt, and pepper to taste.
- Take the corn out from the oven, let cool slightly and brush with leftover oil mixture (optional) and finally mayo mix all over the corn. (If you want to get the corn slightly charred without using a grill, a grill pan would be a great option here. Transfer the baked corn directly to a lightly greased grill pan and let all the sides grilled until the desired result, don't overcook it though!).
- Top with crumbled feta or cotija cheese, chopped cilantro, cajun spice. Serve warm!

SLOW-COOKED CAJUN CORN
My husband loves corn on the cob, and I love this slow cooker recipe because I don't have to stand at a hot stove. We like a little spice, so the Cajun seasoning works well for us, but any spice blend works. -Audra Rorick, Scott City, Kansas

Tips:
- Use fresh corn on the cob: Fresh corn on the cob is sweeter and has a better flavor than frozen corn. If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen corn, but be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
- Choose small to medium-sized potatoes: Smaller potatoes will cook more evenly and quickly than larger potatoes. If you only have large potatoes, cut them into smaller pieces before cooking.
- Season the potatoes and corn generously: The Cajun seasoning mix is what gives this dish its signature flavor, so be sure to use a generous amount. You can also add other spices, such as black pepper, garlic powder, or onion powder, to taste.
- Cook the potatoes and corn until they are tender: The potatoes should be fork-tender and the corn should be slightly charred. If you are using a grill, cook the potatoes and corn over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
- Serve the potatoes and corn hot: These are best served hot off the grill or stovetop. You can garnish them with fresh parsley or cilantro, if desired.
Conclusion:
Cajun potatoes and corn on the cob is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of flavorful Cajun seasoning, tender potatoes, and sweet corn is sure to please everyone at your table.
