Hello Everyone,

Having never made potato salad in my life, can someone out there please point me to an easy recipe that also tastes dandy?

Many thanks in advance!

WTF?



Do you want classical southern style with a mayo/mustard and egg based "dressing" to it, or would a German style with a vinegar based rock your boat?

Mayo, Mustard, Relish (dill or sweet), Celery, Boiled Eggs, Potatoes, S&P. Don't be stingy with the mayo. Hellmann's or Blue Plate Only.

(if you have leftover potatoes from a crawfish boil use them or boil your potatoes in crawfish boil for some extra goodness)

Boil potatoes-I like to keep the skins on the red ones
Boil eggs-how many depends on how "eggy" you like it, I never go less than 6
Cut up potatoes into small chunks-stirring will further break them down but be careful not to make mashed potatoes out of em
Cut up egg whites and yolks-again, stirring will break down chunks
Add mayo and mustard-Ol' Cajun ladies go heavy on the mustard
Season to taste
Stir and serve

Peel the potatoes. Boil potatoes and eggs. Add mayo, mustard, salt and pepper.

Go to Maxwell's Market and pick up a quart of their New Orleans potato salad and claim it as your own.

If you do make your own, use only red new potatoes and leave the skins on. They won't turn to mush like russet potatoes. Add celery, green or red peppers and green onions, mayonnaise, a dash of creole mustard, and salt and pepper. Hard-boiled eggs are optional but if you do use them, just use the whites.

Winn-Dixie potato salad with egg; add normal seasonings and enjoy.

Cheap, easy, and very fast.
