Recipe for Potato Salad

If you like potato salad, Keith has shared this delicious recipe to try:

Ingredients:

  • 10 lb. Russet Potatos
  • 1 bunch of Green Onions
  • 7-8 Eggs whites (only the whites)
  • 8 oz. Dill Pickle relish (including Juice)
  • 1 tsp. Dill Weed
  • 16 oz. Mayonnaise (about half a 32oz. Jar)
  • 1 tsp. of Dry Mustard or Dijon Mustard
  • Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning 8 oz
  • Salt (This is added when boiling potatoes – Kieth also uses a little olive oil)

Preparation:

  • Cook the potatoes firmly. They should be soft enough to stick a fork in and out with force.
  • The dill weed is mixed into the mixture and also used as a garnish
  • All ingredients should be mixed into the potatoes and mixed delicately so the potatoes can keep their firmness.
  • If it look like mashed potatoes, they’ve been cooked too long.

Desserts:

  • Lemon cloud
  • Chocolate Lava Cake w/Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
  • Apple Cobbler Crisp w/Vanilla Ice Cream
  • Key Lime Pie
  • Lemonberry Marscapone
  • Reese’s Peanut Butter Cheesecake
