Description
A delicious and creamy potato salad with a kick from Cajun seasoning.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Russet potatoes
- 4 large eggs
- ¼ cup chopped onions
- ½ cup chopped celery ribs
- ½ cup diced red and yellow bell peppers (1/2-inch pieces)
- ¼ cup dill pickle relish
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Creole mustard sauce
- ¾ cup plain mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Wash the potatoes and peel them using a vegetable peeler. You can choose to keep the skin on if you wish to. Cut the potatoes into ½-inch cubes.
- Heat 4-5 cups of water in a large pot over medium-high heat.
- Once the water comes to a boil, add the potato cubes and eggs to the pan.
- Reduce the heat to low.
- Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 12-15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Note – You can check if the potatoes are cooked well by inserting a kitchen knife or fork inside a cube and it should slide through easily. Do not overcook otherwise the potatoes will become mushy.
- Remove the eggs from the pan using a spoon.
- Remove the pan from the heat and drain the water. Run the potatoes under cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Peel the eggs and cut them into ½ inch pieces.
- Mix Cajun seasoning, Creole mustard sauce, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in another medium mixing bowl.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and mix everything well.
- Chill the salad for at least an hour before serving for the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a spicier salad, add more Cajun seasoning to taste.
- Letting the salad chill enhances the flavors, so plan ahead.
