Crazy Cajun Tater Salad
"This is my take on Crab Boil Potato Salad - i took a basic potato salad recipe and added a bit of crazy cajun influence..this is the result."
- Ready In:
- 35mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Yields:
-
1 container
- Serves:
- 8-10
ingredients
- 10 medium red potatoes
- 1 (3 ounce) bag crab boil seasoning (not the liquid)
- 4 hard-boiled eggs (chopped)
- 2 cups green onions (sliced)
- 1⁄2 medium onion (chopped)
- 1 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons creole mustard (can use horseradish mustard if creole isn't available)
- cayenne pepper
- Tony Chachere's Seasoning
directions
- Fill a large pot with water, crab boil seasoning package, and a generous sprinkling of cayenne pepper and tony chacheres. Cover with lid and bring to a boil and let boil for at least 5 minutes (the longer you let it boil, the more flavored the water will become).
- Reduce heat to med-high and add potatoes. Boil until the potatoes are soft and easily pierced by a fork (approximately 15-20 mins).
- Drain and cool the potatoes.
- Chop the potatoes into bite sized pieces. (I like to vary the size of the pieces). Leave the skins on.
- Put potatoes in a bowl and add the eggs, green onions, onion, mayo, and mustard. Mix together well. Depending on your preferences, you may want to add a little more mayo or mustard.
- Add a generous sprinkling of cayenne pepper and tony chachere's (approx 1 tbsp of each depending on your tastes). Beware that the spices will get a bit stronger with time. Mix together well.
- Allow the potato salad to sit in the fridge for at least an hour or so to let the flavors meld together.

I am just now beginning to discover my passion for cooking. When I got married to the love of my life in October of 2007, I started letting him do the cooking because he enjoyed it and would have continued that way if not for a schedule shift that made it necessary for me to take over dinner responsibilities.
