pickles

🥗Healthier: cucumbers

💰Cheaper: relish

Cucumbers provide freshness with less acidity.

Peel and dice 5 potatoes, then place them in water to prevent browning.

Boil the potatoes in water, ensuring they are covered by about an inch and a half.

Check the potatoes for doneness with a fork; they should be tender but not too soft.

Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them dry.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of mayonnaise, 1-2 teaspoons of yellow mustard, and a little Creole kick to taste.

Add half of the diced sweet pickles and half of the sweet relish to the mayonnaise mixture and stir well.

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.

Mix the drained potatoes with the mayonnaise mixture until evenly coated.

Fold in the diced celery, chopped onion, and chopped hard-boiled eggs carefully to avoid breaking them.

Sprinkle smoked paprika over the top for garnish.
