Creole Potato Salad is about as far from bland, boring potato salad as you can get. It has tons of seasoning, plus Creole mustard along with hard-boiled eggs, celery, green onion, and parsley. Combined with mayonnaise and sour cream this is one creamy, delicious potato salad with a little zip!

Last month I made my first trip to New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina courtesy of Zatarain’s. It was during Mardi Gras and if you’ve never been to Mardi Gras in New Orleans, it should be at the top of your bucket list. There’s no experience quite like it. Music, dancing, laughter, costumes, parades, beads, maybe a Hurricane or two. So much fun!
Forget all the wild and crazy partying you see on Bourbon St. Mardi Gras is really a family affair and it is best experienced in a neighborhood setting. We watched the Krewe of Druids Parade and the Krewe of Nyx Parade go down St Charles Avenue in front of the Ponchartrain Hotel.
 
And of course we spent some time walking around the French Quarter. So may interesting things to see!

While we were there we sampled some new Zatarain’s products which are really amazing. I look forward to sharing some recipes using them soon!
