Cajun style Potato Salad is the BEST...........we make it when we make gumbo......because cajun style gumbo requires you put a blob of rice, then a blob of potato salad and then the gumbo on top of it all................

We do the potatoes in the microwave, for the same reason you dip a boiled potato in ice water, makes it easy to peel.........say 10 potatoes, dice them up, add a dozen diced boiled eggs, a bunch of green onion.........add mayo, just enough to get it moist then a tad more, add some mustard, enough to turn it a light yellow then.............wait for it..........sugar, about a half a cup or till it's tastes right and since you've never tasted it you won't know what right is.........so until you like it LOL.................laissez les bons temps rouler..............................................raven

Great tip! Thank you!!

The time you save on the peeling you already spent cooking the potato whole.

Right?

I cut my raw potatoes up and cook until just tender. Redskins. Leave the skin.

Oh, yes....I do wash them.

In general, if you think about it, making potato salad is a bit of a pain!!

(beginning to wonder if it will ever be burger/potato salad weather again)

(I'll be back in August complaining about the heat and humidity-today it was a blizzard)
