Doesn’t need to be a great stand alone potato salad. Just need a good easy one for the camp to go along with gumbo.
Thanks for the help.

Yukon gold potatoes boiled until they soft but not mushy, boiled eggs, chopped dill pickles, real mayo, squirt of mustard, Salt and black pepper (not much) Mix the mayo, mustard, egg yellows, dill pickles, S/P till creamy, chop the potatoes and egg whites, roll in the egg yellow Mayo mustard pickle mix but don’t go crazy mixing it, you don’t want to tear up the potatoes. Slam that in the fridge to chill

I mean, it’s potato salad. Google can tell you quicker.

Easy? Here you go: Boil potatoes and drain, add Mayo, a little mustard, sweet salad cubes, salt and pepper.

Go to Dandy Don LSU Football. He has a recipe page. Look for the potato salad recipe. I add sweet relish or olives to mine and sometimes raw finely chopped white onion.

Hopefully you serve potato salad on the side and not in the gumbo, creating a white slurry of cold mush.

I never use a recipe.
Boil 4-6 eggs to hard boil (14-16 minutes at a boil), peel and set aside in cold water to cool them off.

Boil 2 pounds of potatoes. I use red. Cut into the size you like, cover with water and add 1 heaping teaspoon salt. Remove from heat before they get mushy. Rinse with cold water to stop the cooking.

Chop 1/2 to 1 cup celery, 1/2 to 1 cup sweet pickles. Onion is optional, but if using it, add 1/2 cup chopped onion.

Add 1 teaspoon yellow mustard and 1/4 to 1/2 cup of your brand of mayo. Mix and if not yellow enough, add a little more mustard. If you like white potato salad, skip the mustard.

Taste and add salt if wanted and add some sweet pickle juice if not sweet enough to suit your taste.

You can start with less celery, onion and sweet pickles, then add more if wanted. You cannot remove them if you use too many.

When you cut your potatoes before boiling them, use more if it doesn't look like you have enough. Then adjust other ingredients as needed.

Lots of recipes here. I never measure either unfortunately. I like celery for crunch in mine and I like a lot of green onions which go well with the gumbo.

For potato salad to be served with gumbo, we use very little mayo and no pickles or relish. Green onions, celery and a little bell pepper with mustard and a little mayo. Season to taste. A really nice addition is boil potatoes in crab boil.

How many prefer no crunch in their potato salad. I cannot stand potato salad that is not smooth.
