Recipe of the Month: Cajun Potato Salad

 This recipe came across Facebook, presented by Blue Plate Mayonnaise and it looked pretty good. 

Making the recipe as presented meant left overs for a day or so!.

Ingredients:

3 pounds white potatoes, peeled, cut in 1-inch cubes ( I used some deluxe gold potatoes)

1/2 pound bacon, cooked until crisp, crumbled

6  green onions, chopped, white and some of the green parts

2 ribs celery, finely chopped

2  tablespoons dill relish, or pimientos drained ( I used the dill relish)

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1 teaspoon creole seasoning ( I used Old Bay)

1/2 cup light Blue Plate Mayonnaisse

1/2 cup light sour cream

Paprika and celery sticks for garnish.

Cook the potatoes in boiling water in a large pot over medium high heat for 15-18 minutes, until tender.

( I checked them constantly to make sure I didn't over cook them). Drain and cool slightly.

Place potatoes in a large bowl, add bacon, celery, relish, salt, pepper, creole seasoning.  In a small bowl, stir mayonnaise and sour cream until blended. Pour over potato mixture as much as you like. (I poured about half of it, stirred, added about a quarter more, stirred).  Cover and chill at least 1 hour before serving. Garnish with paprika and celery sticks.
