One of my all-time favorite side dishes is definitely Potato Salad. I’ve made it in every way imaginable, but this recipe is by far my favorite, and as a matter of fact, everyone that eats it declares that it’s their favorite also. It is creamy, vinegary, and a little bit spicy-sweet. Everyone’s Favorite Potato Salad is absolutely perfect for all of your barbecues, gumbos, or when you want a tasty side dish.

Everyone’s Favorite Potato Salad
In a large pot, bring potatoes with skins and eggs to a boil in salted water. Boil until potatoes are fork-tender. If you use larger potatoes then remove the eggs after 10 minutes so they do not overcook. After the potatoes and eggs cook, remove from the water and allow to cool.
Peel the eggs once they are cooled. Grate the eggs into the bowl with the potatoes. Add the red onion and the white part of the green onions (reserve the green parts of the green onions for garnish).
In another bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, mustard, candied jalapeños and juice, lemon juice, capers, and cajun seasoning. Pour the mayonnaise mixture into the potato mixture. Break the potatoes into bite-size pieces as you stir.
Cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
