CAJUN POTATO SALAD
Also known as creole mustard potato salad, or like mamaw called it; Lousiana Tater Salad. I am posting for ZWT5. If creole mustard is not available, you can substitute coarse ground mustard with a touch of prepared horsaradish. This is a nice side dish to the Louisana favorite, red beans and rice.

CAJUN POTATO SALAD BRANDY'S WAY
One of my favorite sides at BBQ's and a picnic is potato salad. I would be proud to take this tasty one to my next gathering. It is so creamy and the chopped pickles add another depth of flavor. The Cajun seasoning gives a nice little kick and it is so easy to control how much you add to the dish. Delish!

My son loves this potato salad....I also do a shrimp coleslaw he loves. Best made early in the day or the day before because it requires at least 8 hours of chilling time. Chilling time is not included in the prep time.

- In a large mixing bowl combine the diced potatoes,chopped pickles, olives, pimentoes, relish and chopped onion.

- In a small bowl mix mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard and milk. If too thick add pickle juice a litttle at a time.

Tips:
- Use Yukon Gold or red potatoes. These varieties hold their shape well when boiled, making them ideal for potato salad.
- Boil the potatoes until they are just tender. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy.
- Let the potatoes cool completely before assembling the salad. This will prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- Use a light hand with the mayonnaise. You don't want the salad to be too heavy or greasy.
- Add the celery, onion, and hard-boiled eggs last. This will prevent them from getting overcooked.
- Season the salad to taste. Add salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning to taste.
- Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld.
