Dad is making a chicken/okra gumbo tomorrow and I've been tasked with dessert (making bread pudding) but I'd like to contribute a little more

Or in lieu of that if anyone has an appetizer suggestion that would work also. Doesn't have to be cajun themed necessarily

Got any boudin, and some wonton wraps?
My wife takes the smoked boudin out of the casing and makes little boudin filled wontons in the fry daddy.

I could get some boudin here locally but it won't be very good...

That does sound like a good idea for future reference though Does she make any sort of dipping sauce to go with it?

Yellow potatoes, boiled eggs. Cube the potatoes and boil with the eggs. Separate the yolks from the whites. Cut the whites up and put with the potatoes. Add mayo, mustard, and seasonings (salt, cayenne, garlic powder) to the yolks and mix. Pour yolk mixture in potatoes and eggs, add relish/chopped raw onions if you want, and mix.

As far as measuring everything do it to taste. Not everyone's potato salad is the same.


ETA: one time used red potatoes and boiled them in crab boil first. fricking amazing and something different.

I've actually done this with mashed potatoes before a few times

As long as you don't put too much it comes out great

Donald Link’s Potato Salad From Real Cajun
serves 6-8 as a side dish

1.8kg waxy potatoes, such as Nicola, Kipfler or Dutch Creams, diced
2 celery stalks
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 bunch spring onion, thinly sliced
1/2 c mayonnaise
1/4 c whole grain mustard
2 tbsp coarsely chopped parsley
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper

1. Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water, bring to the boil, reduce to low heat and simmer until very tender, 20 mins.

2. Drain and cool to room temperature, transfer to a large bowl and gentle crush some with a whisk, (I used a fork), leaving some a little chunky. While the potatoes are cooling, whisk all remaining ingredients in a separate bowl until well combined.

3. Once the potatoes are at room temperate, pour the dressing over and combine well. I also added a handful of rocket leaves, just because it had them in the fridge to use.

There should be a sticky thread with potato salad gumbo questions at the top.

ETA: Potato
Mustard
Mayo
Egg
Salt
Pepper

Mix together to your taste.

Seems pretty simple and about what I thought. Just never made one. I prefer a really eggy and soft potato salad for this purpose
