Potato Salad for gumbo

I used to put potato salad in my gumbo. however, after discovering how good it is to have a peeled sweet potato in it, I will never ever use potato salad again. try a baked/peeled sweet potato in your bowl. you won't regret it. it doesn't "melt" in the juice like potato salad does and it is unbelievable.

I need to try the sweet potato thing. And please no pickles or relish in the potato salad. Eggs, potatoes, mayo, onions, a very small amount of mustard, salt, and pepper.

Sounds interesting…but seeing as I don't care for sweet potatoes I doubt I'll be dropping one in a gumbo anytime soon.

As far as a potato salad recipe, it's probably one of the easiest side dishes to make. The simple one is eggs, mayo and creole mustard. But if I'm looking to jazz it up a bit I add red onions and a little dill relish.

If it's a seafood gumbo I'll sauté onions, bell pepper and celery in butter then add crab meat and small shrimp. Fry off a couple of pieces of bacon and crumble it in. Then of course, add that to your cooked and chopped potatoes and eggs. Mayo and creole mustard, salt and black pepper wrap it up.

Boiled potatoes from a crawfish, crab or shrimp boil make for a good potato salad as well.

Link broke Rat. For me, at least.
