Notes
Please refer to my article Cajun Potato Salad for step-by-step instructions with photos and more helpful tips.
You can substitute Russets or any starchy potato for the Yukon Golds.
Substitute Dill Relish for the Sweet Relish if you prefer a more savory Potato Salad.
Leftovers can be held in the fridge for 3 to 4 days in an airtight container with two hours of making.
