question about crawfish boil, about 'taters.

[RingSteel]

Potatoes just don't seem to take on much flavor, even after boiling and soaking for an hour in the seasoned boil water.
Is there any way to get more flavor into the taters?
The corn soaks up a ton of flavor, in comparison.

Maybe poke holes in them with a fork?

You leaving whole? if not, I'd cut in half

I do mine like this. And, use red potatoes.

This is what we do

I use the small red potatoes and cut them in half. It normally soaks up pretty good flavor.

Red taters with holes work. Half of quarter them works even better.

my taters and corn soak up so much flavor I cook them first with reduced seasoning before kicking up the seasoning for the crawfish

What size potatoes are you using? Typically the smaller the potatoes the better for both cook time and seasoning soak up. I like the ones that are about grape size the best.

I've been quartering the small red potatoes and scoring insides for enhanced flavor after our first and second boil of the season. Much more flavor, BUT using a knife tenderizer like I use for chicken fry sounds like it would be worth a shot. Especially if you halve or quarter.

I don't have an answer, but do you guys really eat the taters and corn in a crawfish boil? I prefer to leave more room for the crawfish and can eat corn and potatoes anytime.

I try the spuds every single time, thinking that someone has finally figured out how to make them taste good. They haven’t so after 1 or 2, that’s it until the ext crawfish boil.

But I keep hoping….

I like my crawfish spicy so i look forward to some relatively bland potato every few bites for a bit of relief from the heat. Handful of crawfish, potato, beer, repeat...

Thanks for the input. We’ll try cutting the taters in half next time.
