Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 pounds chopped potatoes
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped celery
  • 2 teaspoons chopped kosher dill pickles or dill pickle relish
  • 3 chopped green onions
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh or dried parsley
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Creole mustard
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons yellow mustard
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Place chopped potatoes and the whole eggs in large pot of water. Add a dash of salt.

  • Use a potato masher to mash about half of the potatoes, and to soften the remaining potatoes slightly. 
  • Add remaining ingredients.
  • Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate overnight for best results.
