Ingredients

  • 5 lb Russet Potatoes peeled and cut into 2" chunks
  • Salt to taste
  • 8 Large Eggs
  • 1 Cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 Tablespoon Yellow Mustard
  • 3 Tablespoons Sweet Relish
  • 1 Small Onion finely diced
  • ½ Tablespoon Creole Seasoning + more for sprinkling on top
  • ½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 Green Onion optional garnish

Instructions

  • In a large pot add water, salt and the peeled and cubed potatoes. Bring to a boil.
  • Add the eggs and boil for 10 minutes. Remove the eggs to cold water and peel.
  • Keep boiling the potatoes until soft (about 10 more minutes).
  • Drain the potatoes with a colander and add the peeled eggs back to the potatoes.
  • Mash the potatoes and eggs in the pot you boiled them in.
  • Add the Mayonnaise, mustard and seasonings and stir well to combine.
  • If you are needing a little to be kept aside for kids (no onions/relish) then remove now.
  • Add the sweet relish and onions to the remaining potatoes and mix well.
  • Add to a serving bowl and sprinkle with Creole Seasoning and chopped green onion (optional).

Notes

  • Before adding the onions and relish keep some potato salad to the side if you have picky kids eating.
  • Cook the eggs in the same pot with the potatoes to minimize dirty dishes.
