Ingredients
– 3 pounds red potatoes
– 1 tablespoon liquid shrimp and crab boil (optional, for added flavor)
– 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
– 3/4 teaspoon Creole seasoning (plus extra for sprinkling)
– 1/3 cup mayonnaise
– 1/3 cup sour cream
– 1/3 cup Creole mustard
– 1 teaspoon sugar
– 1 finely chopped celery stalk
– 3 hard-boiled eggs (chopped)
– 3 sliced green onions
– 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1-Boil the Potatoes: Wash 3 pounds red potatoes and cut into chunks. Place in a large pot, cover with water, and add 1 tablespoon liquid shrimp and crab boil if using. Bring to a boil, then simmer 15-20 minutes until tender but firm. Drain well.
2-Toss with Seasoning: While warm, gently toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar and 3/4 teaspoon Creole seasoning. Let cool slightly. This step locks in flavor.
3-Make the Dressing: In a bowl, whisk 1/3 cup each mayonnaise, sour cream, and Creole mustard, plus 1 teaspoon sugar until smooth.
4-Chop Additions: Finely chop 1 celery stalk, 3 hard-boiled eggs, slice 3 green onions, and chop 1 tablespoon fresh parsley.
5-Combine and Season: Fold potatoes, veggies, eggs, parsley, and dressing together. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle extra Creole seasoning on top.
6-Chill and Serve: Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Serve chilled for picnics or potlucks.

🥚 For the best texture, chop potatoes while they’re still warm but not hot – this helps them absorb the dressing better
🌡️ This salad tastes even better made a day ahead, giving the Creole seasonings time to penetrate the potatoes
🔥 Adjust the heat level by adding more or less Creole seasoning, or add a pinch of cayenne for extra spice
