I have been making this mouthwatering potato salad for about 10 years. My family likes spicy foods, and thanks to a son living in New Orleans, we have a constant supply of Cajun sausage for this recipe. Made with extra sausage, it's a filling one-dish meal.—Margaret Scott, Murfreesboro, Tennessee

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds small red potatoes
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onions
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley

  • 6 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
