Ingredients:
- 🥔 5 lb russet potatoes, peeled & diced into 1-inch cubes
- 🥛 1 cup mayonnaise
- 🌭 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 🥒 2-3 tbsp dill relish OR dill pickles, diced into small cubes
- 🌶️ 1-2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 🧅 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
- 🥚 4 boiled eggs, whites chopped
- 🌶️ Paprika, to taste
Instructions:
- Boil the Potatoes:
- Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and cook until fork-tender, approximately 10-15 minutes.
- Prepare the Dressing:
- While the potatoes are boiling, cut the boiled eggs in half and separate the yolks from the whites. In a medium bowl, mash the egg yolks with a fork or your clean hands until smooth.
- Add the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, Cajun seasoning, and dill relish or pickles to the mashed yolks. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
- Combine Ingredients:
- Stir the chopped egg whites and green onions into the yolk mixture.
- Drain the hot diced potatoes and add them to the dressing. Gently fold the potatoes into the dressing using a fork, ensuring everything is well coated.
- Adjust Consistency (Optional):
- If the potato salad appears dry, gradually add more mayonnaise, one scoop at a time, mixing until you reach the desired consistency. Adjust seasoning to taste if more mayonnaise is added.
- Chill the Salad:
- Smooth out the top of the potato salad and sprinkle generously with paprika. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, although chilling overnight will enhance the flavors.
- Serve:
- Serve chilled as a side dish and enjoy the rich, creamy texture and flavorful spice of this classic Cajun Potato Salad.
