- Boil Potatoes:
- In a large pot, boil the potato cubes in heavily salted water until tender. This usually takes around 15-20 minutes. Ensure they don't get too soft as they'll continue cooking with the residual heat.
- Prepare Dressing:
- While the potatoes are boiling, scoop the yolks out from the boiled eggs into a medium-sized bowl.
- Mash the yolks using clean hands or a fork until completely smooth.
- Add mayo, yellow mustard, Cajun seasoning, and dill relish or pickles. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well-integrated.
- Stir in the chopped egg whites and green onions.
- Combine Potatoes and Dressing:
- Once the potatoes are done, drain them and immediately combine them with the dressing. Ensure the potatoes are hot to allow them to absorb the flavors.
- Using a fork, gently fold the dressing and potatoes together until they're well-coated. Add a bit more mayo if the consistency is too dry for your liking, and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Chill and Serve:
- Smooth out the top of the potato salad in the serving dish and sprinkle generously with paprika until the top is covered to your taste.
- Place the salad in the refrigerator and allow it to cool for at least 3 hours. For best results, refrigerate overnight before serving.
Cooking Tips:
- For added flavor, consider incorporating a splash of apple cider vinegar or pickle juice to the dressing.
- Gently fold the ingredients to avoid mashing the potatoes too much.
