For the potatoes
1 1/2 pounds small redskin potatoes ( larger babies )
Water
3/4 cup dry white wine
4 medium cloves garlic, peeled but left whole
2 tablespoons plus 2 more teaspoons of your favorite Cajun seasoning (or use mine which follows)
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions plus a little more for garnish
Cajun Seasoning
2 tablespoons fine sea salt
2 tablespoons sweet Hungarian paprika
1 tablespoon granulated garlic or garlic powder
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon celery seed

1
Take your potatoes and peel a strip around the circumference of each one and place them in a 4 quart pot. Add water to just barely cover them and then stir in the wine, garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons of the Cajun seasoning and the cayenne pepper.
2
Bring up to a boil and then simmer until the potatoes are fork tender. Drain the potatoes and return them along with the garlic to the pot.
3
Start mashing the potatoes with a potato masher or large fork. Just a few mashes and then add the butter, 2 teaspoons of the Cajun seasoning and the quarter cup of green onions. Mash a few more times until you get a creamy but somewhat chunky consistency. Place in a serving bowl and garnish with a little more green onion.
4
Combine all the ingredients and store in a covered container.
