My all-time favorite side dish definitely has to be potato salad. I make it every way imaginable, but this recipe is by far my favorite. It is creamy, vinegary, and a little sweet. It’s absolutely perfect for all of your barbecues, gumbos, and when you want a tasty side dish.

ingredients
- 3 pounds small red potatoes, skin left on
- 6 large eggs
- salt
- 1 medium red onion, diced

- 2 tablespoons drained capers

instructions
- 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.

- In another bowl, mix together mayonnaise, mustard, pickles, lemon juice, and capers.

Pour mayonnaise mixture into potato mixture. Break potatoes into bite-size pieces as you stir.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with green onions.
Enjoy!
