Potato salad is a classic side dish that is perfect for BBQ’s, potlucks, and more! I took the classic potato salad up a notch with this Cajun Crispy Smashed Potato Salad that has crispy roasted smashed potatoes, a remoulade inspired dressing, and texture from the veggies to make this the side dish of the spring and summer. I partnered with my friends at Tony Chachere’s to create this delicious potato salad featuring one of my favorite spices, More Spice Creole Seasoning which gives the sauce and the potatoes the ultimate flavor boost. You are going to love adding this crispy smashed potato salad into your weeknight cooking and summer entertaining.
