Easy Creole Potato Salad

I think sometimes food bloggers think that they need to come up with the next jaw dropping recipe. Loaded with all sorts of ingredients and full of crazy flavor combinations. However, sometimes the simplest recipes, with few ingredients, minimal prep (and dishes to clean up!) are what we need in our busy day to day lives. Today I am teaming up with Simply Potatoes, who understands that people need quick, easy to prepare recipes. Their potatoes are fresh, never frozen, and come peeled, diced, shredded or mashed, and are ready to be cooked and enjoyed. Simply Potatoes are encouraging their fans to make meal time “simply-fied” by creating simple and tasty recipes as part of their 5 Ingredient Fix Recipe Contest. For more information about the recipe contest, head over to www.food.com/simplypotatoes.

Since my life, like yours, is super busy like all.the.time. I could definitely use more simple and easy to prepare recipes in my life. To help inspire you to start creating your own 5 Ingredient Fix Recipes, I am sharing a recipe for 5 Ingredient Creole Potato Salad.

Don’t be fooled, even though this recipe only has five ingredients, it is packed with flavor! It has that infamous Creole heat and a lovely mix of textures from the potatoes, sausage and crunchy celery. This potato salad would be the perfect side dish to wow all your friends at all those upcoming cookouts and picnics!
