Spicy Cajun Potato Salad

Ingredients

  • 5 pounds medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
  • 1 large yellow onion
  • 1/2 medium lemon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 hard-boiled large eggs, chopped
  • 1-1/2 cups mayonnaise with olive oil and coarsely ground pepper
  • 1 cup dill pickle relish
  • 1/4 cup yellow mustard
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
  • Paprika

Directions

  • Place potatoes in a Dutch oven; add water to cover. Cut onion in half crosswise; add one half to saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add lemon and salt to cooking water. Reduce heat; cook, uncovered, until potatoes tender, 5-6 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, chop remaining onion. Combine with eggs, mayonnaise, dill pickle relish, mustard and Cajun seasoning.
  • Drain potatoes; rinse under cold water. Discard onion and lemon. Add potatoes to egg mixture; gently toss until well mixed (do not overmix, or potatoes will break down). Refrigerate, covered, 1-2 hours. Just before serving, sprinkle with parsley and paprika.

Test Kitchen tip

  • Adding lemon juice or vinegar to the water when boiling potatoes will help keep them on the firm side. This is a great tactic for potato salads, but not so much for mashed potatoes.

Easy Peasy Biscuits 

Ingredients

 
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup coconut oil, solid
  • 1-1/2 cups 2% milk

  • Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 8-10 times. Pat or roll dough to a rectangle 1/2 in. thick; fold dough into thirds (as you would a letter). Pat or roll dough again into a rectangle 1/2 in. thick; cut with a pizza cutter or knife into 24 biscuits, each about 2-1/2 in, square. Place 1 1/2 in. apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until light brown, 8-10 minutes. Serve warm.
  • Freeze option: Freeze cut biscuit dough on waxed paper-lined baking sheets until firm. Transfer to airtight containers; return to freezer. To use, bake biscuits as directed.
  • Freeze option: Freeze cooled baked biscuits in airtight containers. To use, heat in a preheated 350° oven 15-20 minutes.
