Can those of you who do this regularly post your recipe or at least a basic ingredients list? I usually dont use much mayo for the type I'd make for a BBQ, but the idea of using mayo at all for something going into a gumbo bowl seems questionable.

Red vs russett vs sweet?

Ive only ever used rice for gumbo.

Lot of mustard, a lot of vinegar is integral

-10lb bag red potatoes, peeled and diced about 3/4"
-Dozen eggs boiled and peeled, yokes separated from whites, whites should be diced into 1/4" pieces.
-16oz Blue Plate or Hellmans Mayo
-3 TBS Yellow Mustard
-Salt
-Pepper
-Dill Relish (optional)
-Garlic Powder (optional)




Boil potatoes in salted water for 20 minutes or till fork tender. While potatoes are boiling put mayo in a large mixing bowl and stir it till its smooth. Then add egg yolks and mustard to the bowl and smash the egg yolks with a fork and mix together (if you want dill relish in it, add it at this time). Add a little salt and a good bit of black pepper. I also like to add a sprinkle of granulated garlic . At this time add your diced eggs. When potatoes are cooked, drain and add them to the bowl mix together and serve.

ETA; I'm not sure on the amounts of Mayo, I just go by looks. I'm pretty sure it's near half a jar though.

At first I read this as potato salad or gumbo and got a little pissed.

Here is how I make mine

5 lbs potatoes peeled and cubed
1 dozen eggs
Yellow mustard
Mayo

Boil potatoes till soft I like to add some seasoning and maybe some celery/ onion to the water.

Drain potatoes and set aside

Take boiled eggs and separate white from yolk.

Chop egg whites

Smash yolks in a bowl and put a healthy squirt of mustard

Dump this mixture into boiled potatoes and mash along with the egg whites

Put enough mayo to get desired taste/consistency

I have never measured the mayo/mustard ratio just eyeball it and taste as I go.

Some people like a chunky potatoe salad I prefer a mashed. I will also add some chopped green onion from time to time but not everyone likes the crunch.
