I don’t know about the rest of you, but while I don’t make New
Year's resolutions, I do try to set certain goals for myself. One of my goals
for this year was to get rid of all of that questionable food in the freezer.
So many things I will package, label, and put into the freezer with the best of
intentions, and end up doing nothing with, only to have it get freezer
burnt, or dried up and turned into little clumps of frozen dust.
The other day I decided to put my last two frozen pork steaks into the crockpot, rub
them with Smokehouse
Maple Seasoning, top them with oodles of barbecue sauce,
and then just let them simmer on low all day. I had coleslaw from the previous
night, but needed another side dish so decided to try a new recipe that I had seen
in Louisiana
Cookin’ magazine. This is phenomenal! I made a few adjustments to
suit what I like, and I think this is my new favorite. It has a bit of a kick,
thanks to the Creole mustard and Creole seasoning, but if you
aren’t a fan of any kind of heat, don’t put the Creole seasoning on top,
replace it with paprika.
Creole Potato Salad
Slightly adapted from Louisiana Cookin’
3 lbs. Melissa’s organic red potatoes, quartered
2 T. plus ¼ t. kosher salt
1 c. Duke’s mayonnaise
3 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and chopped
3 T. apple cider vinegar
½ c. sweet pickle relish
1½ t. sweet pickle juice
1½ t. yellow mustard
1½ t. Creole mustard
½ c. chopped Melissa’s shallots
¼ c. chopped parsley
½ t. freshly ground black pepper
¼ t. Creole Seasoning
In a 3-quart saucepan, add potatoes and 2 tablespoons salt; cover with cold water by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, until just tender, 15 to 25 minutes. Drain, and let cool slightly. In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, remaining ¼ teaspoon salt, and remaining ingredients. Add potatoes, and gently combine. Sprinkle with additional Creole seasoning, if desired. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Looks (and sounds) delish! Thanks for sharing!
I hear you about the freezer. I need to complete that task too.
Oh - this looks so good. I do love potato salad. As far as the freezer goes, I usually don't bother because eventually it gets freezer burned and I end up dumping things. I'm not good at freezing.
I am always looking for great potato salad recipes and this one looks wonderfully creamy and spiced to my taste.
It looks like wonderful potato salad. I've met very few I didn't like. I need to get some Creole mustard and try this! And I've never tried Creole mustard, I know, I'm so pathetic.
It looks really good. i actually am not sure what Creole taste like.
We love and make potatoes salad alot during the year. This recipe looks very different. I really havent tried this kind of salad before. Thanks for the recipe.
