Step by Step Method
Step 1
Place potatoes into a large heavy-bottomed pot. Cover with cold water and place over medium heat. Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce heat and remove lid. Gently simmer until potatoes are fork tender.
Step 2
Drain and place into an ice bath to cool. Remove skin by rubbing with fingers or a tea towel.
Step 3
Slice potatoes into rounds and place into a zip top bag. Add the vinegar and toss to coat all of the potatoes. Place the bag into the refrigerator overnight.
Step 4
Next day (or 8 hrs. later) combine the mayonnaise, mustard, parsley, tarragon, pickles, onions, and celery in a large mixing bowl.
Step 5
Once evenly combined, add the potatoes and season with salt, cajun seasoning and pepper.
Step 6
Let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
