- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
- 3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled

- 3 tablespoons dill or sweet relish
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup diced celery
- ⅓ cup diced onion
- ½ cup diced bell pepper
- 1 thinly sliced scallion
- Paprika, for sprinkling
Arbeitsschritte:
- Place all the Cajun seasoning ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until well combined. Set aside.
- Cut the potatoes into 1-inch pieces and place into a large pot.
- Cover the potatoes with about 2 inches of water and bring the water to a boil.
- Once the water is boiling, add the eggs to the pot straight from the refrigerator and set a timer for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare a bowl of ice water.
- After 10 minutes, remove the eggs from the pot and place them in the ice bath to cool for about 10 minutes.
- Cook the potatoes for about 10-12 more minutes until very soft, then drain them, return them to the pot, and set the pot aside to cool slightly.
- When the eggs are cool, drain them and peel them.
- Separate the egg whites and yolks.
- Chop the egg whites into pieces about ¼-inch long and set them aside.
- Place the yolks in a mixing bowl and add the reserved Cajun seasoning along with the mayonnaise, mustard, relish, salt, and black pepper.
- Mash the mixture with a fork until well combined.
- Add the celery, onion, and bell pepper and stir until evenly distributed.
- Mash the potatoes with a potato masher, leaving some chunks for texture.
- Add the egg yolk mixture to the potatoes and stir until the potatoes are creamy.
- Add the chopped egg whites and stir carefully until evenly distributed. Taste and adjust for salt and black pepper. You can add more mayonnaise if you like it creamier.
- Garnish the potato salad with sliced scallions and a sprinkle of paprika. Serve warm or at room temperature. Refrigerate leftovers up to 3-4 days and bring to room temperature before serving.
