ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds baby red potatoes
- 4 Yukon gold potatoes
- 1/4 cup kosher salt
- 1/2 tablespoon neutral oil
- 4 bay leaves
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 1/2 chopped red onion
- 1 bunch chopped green onion
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Louisiana crystal hot sauce
- 1/2 bag crushed voodoo chips
Method
Step 1
Halve some of the red potatoes, leave smaller ones whole. Cut gold potatoes into halves, or quarters depending on the size of the potato originally.
Step 2
Place potatoes into a pot full of water, add 1/4 cup kosher salt, and a drizzle of neutral oil. Bring to a boil.
Step 3
Add bay leaves, and cook until potatoes are fork tender.
Step 4
Meanwhile, make your dressing.
Step 5
Combine garlic, onion, green onion, parsley, dill, mayo, sour cream, and apple cider vinegar, cajun seasoning, and black pepper. Mix together.
Step 6
Add hot sauce, and mix. Taste for heat level, and add more hot sauce if needed. Or more mayo/sour cream if it's too hot for your liking!
Step 7
You do not need to add salt to this recipe. The cajun seasoning is salty, and the potatoes will have enough flavor from the cooking water. **Save your cooking water, in case you'd like to thin the potato salad.
Step 8
Dump cooked, and slightly cooled potatoes into bowl with dressing. Mash lightly with wooden spoon as you fold dressing over the potatoes. You can break them up as much or as little as you'd like.
Step 9
Chill in fridge until ready to serve.
Step 10
Before serving, garnish with crushed chips, more fresh parsley, and flaky salt if desired.
