Taking just 30 minutes from start to finish, this Cajun potato salad is a straightforward option, if you happen to be in a hurry. The combination of Cajun spices with tender potatoes, eggs, mayo and relish creates a tangy and zesty flavor that pairs perfectly with creamy Yukon Gold potatoes. Pair it with some Cajun grilled shrimp<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0barbecue chicken<\/a>\u00a0for your next\u00a0summer cookout<\/a>\u00a0or large gathering.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Choosing the right type of potato is important for making any potato salad. This recipe for Cajun potato salad calls for Yukon gold potatoes, which have a creamy texture and buttery flavor. They also keep their shape when cooked, so you don’t end up serving your guests a mushy potato salad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n If you’re in a pinch, you can easily swap out the Yukons for red potatoes. They have a smooth texture that works well in potato salads, and they’re also able to hold their shape when cooked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Place the peeled and cubed Yukon Gold potatoes in a Dutch oven and add water to cover. Cut the onion in half crosswise and add half to the pot. Add in the lemon and salt, and bring the pot to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook uncovered for five to six minutes, until the potatoes are tender.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> To ensure even cooking, make sure the potato cubes are uniformly sized.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n While the potatoes are cooking, chop the remaining half of the onion. In a large bowl, combine the onion, chopped hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, pickle relish, mustard and Cajun seasoning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> You can easily whip up your own batch of\u00a0homemade Cajun seasoning<\/a> in five minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Drain the potatoes and rinse them under cold water. Discard the cooked onion and lemon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Add the cooled potatoes to the egg mixture. Gently toss until well mixed, being careful not to overmix to avoid breaking down the potatoes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the potatoes into the egg mixture to keep the potatoes intact.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Cover the salad and refrigerate it for one to two hours. Just before serving, sprinkle with minced fresh parsley and paprika for garnish.<\/p>\n Store any leftover Cajun potato salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Gently stir before serving to refresh the texture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n While it\u2019s possible to freeze potato salad, the texture may change. For the best results, it\u2019s recommended to enjoy this salad fresh or within a few days of making it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Yes, you can prepare this potato salad up to a day in advance. Store it in the fridge in an air-tight container and stir well before serving.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A versatile side that complements a variety of main courses, this Cajun potato salad pairs well with grilled meats, seafood and other hearty barbecue recipes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n You can adjust the spice level of this recipe for Cajun potato salad by varying the amount of seasonings you use\u2014add less Cajun seasoning, and season with paprika or additional spices to your taste.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Hard-boiling eggs doesn’t have to be difficult\u2014simply pop the\u00a0eggs in the air fryer<\/a> and you’ll have perfectly hard-boiled eggs in 15 minutes. Don’t have an air fryer? Here are our best tips for how to make hard-boiled eggs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here in Louisiana we have a lot of get-togethers, and if you want your dish to be chosen over all of the rest, it has to have a kick!
