This potato salad recipe comes from a dear family friend who brought it to every cookout, potluck, and Sunday gathering. It never lasted long! Creamy, tangy, and full of love, it’s made with tender potatoes, crunchy celery, chopped eggs, olives, a touch of mustard, and just the right amount of mayo to bring it all together.
In true Louisiana fashion, it’s the perfect companion to a warm bowl of red beans and rice, which is my husband's favorite! The cool, creamy texture of the potato salad balances out the smoky, spicy flavors of the beans. In Louisiana cuisine, it’s common to pair potato salad with dishes like gumbo or red beans, often served right on the same plate or even mixed together, creating a comforting blend that feels like home. Passed down and perfected over time, this recipe isn’t just a side, it’s a piece of our shared family story.
