CAJUN POTATO SALAD

I am a Cajun.  I think Cajun food is the tastiest food I have ever eaten.  I love Cajun Potato Salad and I think you will, too.  If you love Devil'd eggs , you will love Cajun Potato Salad.

I use approximately 1 medium + 1 large potato per person and approximately 2 boiled eggs per person.  So, let's say that you plan to make enough for 3 ppl...

¼ med. onion, minced, placed in a med. bowl. Set aside.

3 lg. Idaho potatoes + 3 md. Idaho potatoes, peeled, cubed, boiled, and drained.

Once drained, sprinkle salt and black pepper on the potatoes and dump them on top of the minced onion, in a bowl.  Let set while you work on the eggs.

9 eggs, boiled, peeled, cut in half and yolks removed to
a small bowl.  Chop the egg whites and place on top of
the potatoes,while you work on the egg yolks.

In a small bowl, mash the egg yolks and season with salt and black pepper.  Add 2 heaping Tablespoons of
good, thick mayo like *Blue Plate or *Dukes and ¼ teaspoon of French's yellow mustard and stir well, until creamy smoothe.  Set aside.

Now, stir the potatoes, onion and chpd. egg whites in the bowl.  Then, place 2 teaspoons of Mayonnaise in the bowl containing the potatoes and onion and fold-in.
Lastly, using a rubber spatula, scrap all of the egg yolk mixture into the potato mixture and stir till well coated.
Mash about ¼ of the Potato Salad to make the consistency a little bit creamy, rather than chunky.

We Cajuns, like to eat out Potato Salad warm (or hot); you might prefer it chilled and that is totally up to you.

It is so good.  We like to eat it with BBQ or Gumbo. It tastes so good that we have been known to eat it on bread, as a sandwich.
Enjoy !
