Kicking Potato Salad

This is not my Mom's potato salad. I have that recipe to share at a later date.  This potato salad gets it's kick from crab boil and green olives.  I have my one and only roommate to thank for this one.

Ingredients:

• 5 lb. bag of red potatoes
• 3 T. concentrated liquid crab boil
• 10 boiled eggs
• ½ C. olive juice
• 1 (16oz.) jar of green olives with pimentos
• ½ T. kosher salt
• ½ T. Tony Chachere Creole Seasoning
• ¾ C. mayonnaise
• 2 T. yellow mustard

Directions:

1. Boil potatoes with crab boil for 20 minutes on a rolling boil
2. While the potatoes are boiling, boil the eggs
3. Drain potatoes and place in a large mixing bowl
4. Cut eggs into eighths and add to the mixing bowl
5. Sprinkle salt and Tony’s on the eggs and potatoes
6. Give the green olives a rough chop
7. In a separate bowl, combine the mayo, olive juice, mustard, and the chopped olives
8. Combine the wet ingredients with the eggs and potatoes
9. Refrigerate overnight

 Tips and Tricks:

• Do not use russet potatoes for this recipe.  You really need the texture of the red potatoes.
• I like to add about ¼ C. of chopped chives.  I LOVE chives with potatoes.  Many people don’t, so that’s why I don’t include them when I am making this for a big group.
• Boiling eggs that peel easy is a trick.  Click on my link in the ingredients list to find out MY tricks.
