Ingredients

  • 1 pound (450g) potatoes
  • water to cover for boiling the potatoes
  • salt (2-3 teaspoons per liter or quart of water)
  • 2-3 boiled eggs
  • 1 cup (140g) or more peas and carrots (fresh, frozen, or canned works fine)
  • ¼ cup (60g) mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup (60g) sour cream
  • ¼ cup (60g) Heinz salad dressing
  • ½ teaspoon (2-3g) yellow mustard (Dijon mustard also works)
  • ¼ teaspoon (1g) smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon (2g) Creole seasoning
  • ¼ cup (60g) sweet pickle relish
  • ¼ cup (32g) diced onions
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, then add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm to the touch (5-10 minutes). Drain water and add the potatoes to a large bowl.
  • Chop the boiled eggs, and then add them, along with the peas and carrots, to the potatoes.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, Heinz salad dressing, mustard, smoked paprika, Cajun spice, relish, and diced onions, and mix well.
  • Gently mix the dressing and the potato salad until thoroughly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • If you can't find Heinz salad dressing, replace it with any brand you have or more mayonnaise.
  • Feel free to replace the sour cream with Greek yogurt if desired.
  • Please keep in mind that the nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary significantly based on the products used in the recipe.
