Notes
Peeling potatoes is optional; leaving skins on adds texture and nutrition. Raw peppers and celery add crunch; sautéing them briefly creates a softer texture. For a creamier consistency, mash the potatoes slightly while mixing. For a chunkier salad, stir gently to keep potatoes intact. Optional additions include red onion, dill pickles, sweet pickles, relish, or vinegar. Yellow mustard or Dijon mustard can substitute for Creole mustard.
