Ingredients
- 8 large russet potatoes
- 1 large stalk of celery
- 1 bunch green onions
- 3 mini sweet peppers (optional)
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 8 large eggs
- 1-½ cups mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sweet relish
- 1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning (or more for additional spicy flavor)
- fresh parsley to garnish
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and place into a pot for boiling, along with the eggs and salt.*
- Cover with enough water to boil for 30 minutes.
- 8 minutes after the water has come to a boil remove the eggs and put straight into ice cold water (this will help them to peel easier).
- Continue to boil the potatoes until fork tender (approximately 25-30 minutes).
- Remove from water and allow to cool.
- Finely chop the celery, green onions and sweet peppers.
- Peel and chop the eggs, then mix with the vegetables.
- Once the potatoes are cool, chop them into chunks then mix all together with the vegetables.
- Add the mayonnaise, sweet relish, mustard and Cajun seasoning and mix well. Top with fresh parsley if you'd like.
- Serve with gumbo or your favorite picnic foods.
