The next time you’re looking for a side dish with some zip, my Red Potato Salad spiced with Kitchen Crafted’s Creole Kicker SPRD®, bell peppers and jalapeños has got you covered! Bring the flavors of the bayou to your next gathering with this flavorful recipe. Your friends will thank you later.
We’re coming to the end of summer and everyone seems to be throwing a party. Perhaps they are celebrating the fact that their kids are going back to school soon? I personally will be looking forward to the fall weather, as the solstice sun in the Carolinas is no joke.
Potato salad is a staple at any get together. It’s familiar, it plays well with others, and it’s incredibly easy to make. Need I say more?
This Creole Red Potato Salad is one of my favorite twists on a classic recipe.
It’s savory, it’s got a kick, and there’s that extra zing that everyone appreciates. I’ve highlighted a vegetarian version in today’s post… but feel free to add bacon, shrimp, crab, or chicken into this dish. Even better yet, add them all! Now that would be a masterpiece your taste buds would appreciate!
When it comes to potato salad, I’m team red potato + mayo + hard boiled eggs.
There are so many ways to customize this dish, and they’re all the right way. Add some herbs, sprinkle in some salty feta, or include your favorite diced pickles. Any way you choose to make it, potato salad is guaranteed to satisfy any comfort food cravings you might have. Don’t be afraid to cook outside the box.
If you’re unfamiliar with the flavor of creole, it’s basically a mix of bold spices to give your recipes some kick. Think: garlic, onion, cayenne pepper, and a blend of herbs.
So when I found Kitchen Crafted’s Creole Kitchen SPRD® at my local Harris Teeter, I knew I had to give it a whirl. It has a mustard base that tastes phenomenal when slathered on sandwiches, hot dogs, and grilled chicken! It’s definitely a versatile condiment.
I’m a firm believer that potato salad tastes better the next day, so try to make this in advance if you have the time. There’s no need to set the eggs on top of the salad ahead of time, as they don’t require any marinating time. Not an egg fan? No big deal, they are an optional (yet tasty) addition to this recipe.
