  • 1/2 cup minced celery

We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • 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.
