Cajun Potato Salad

Step 1

Combine the herbs and spices for the Cajun seasoning and set aside.

Step 2

Peel and dice the potatoes into ½-inch cubes. Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot, sprinkle 1 tsp salt over top, then cover with water.

Step 3

Place a lid on the pot and bring it up to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat slightly and continue to boil the potatoes until they are very tender (about 8 minutes, test with a fork). Drain the potatoes in a colander and rinse briefly with cool water.

Step 4

While the potatoes are boiling, prepare the potato salad dressing so the flavors have some time to blend. In a bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, mustard, red wine vinegar, hot sauce, sugar, and the prepared Cajun seasoning. Set the dressing aside.

Step 5

Chop the hard boiled eggs, finely dice the celery, slice the green onions, and chop the parsley.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are mostly cooled, transfer them to a large bowl with the eggs, celery, green onion, and parsley. Pour the dressing over top, then stir until everything is well combined. Give the potato salad a taste and adjust the salt or other seasonings to your liking. Serve warm or chill until ready to eat.
