Kick Ass Potato Salad Recipe with Texas Two-Step

Creamy, Loaded, and Built for the Cookout

Potato salad is the side that quietly steals the cookout. This one loads up creamy russets with dill pickles, onion, boiled eggs, and a sharp little kick, then finishes with a generous sprinkle of seasoning right on top.

The flavor is yours to set. Reach for Cleve's Texas Two-Step for a sweet, mild heat, or Cleve's Gulf Coast for a brighter, citrus and herb edge. Either one gives this bowl its kick.

It comes together with simple ingredients, scales up for a crowd, and only gets better after a chill in the fridge. Make it for the next barbecue and watch the bowl empty first.

Ingredients

(Serves 10 to 12)

• 5 lbs russet potatoes
• 2 cups mayonnaise
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup dill pickle, chopped
• 1 tablespoon mustard
• 6 boiled eggs, chopped
• 1 teaspoon sea salt

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Boil the Potatoes

Peel the russet potatoes, cut them into quarters, and boil until fork-tender. Drain and remove from the heat.

2. Mix the Base

Add the mayonnaise along with the remaining wet ingredients and dry seasonings. Gently stir to combine.

3. Fold in the Add-Ins

Fold in the diced onion, chopped pickles, and chopped eggs until evenly distributed.

4. Mash to Texture

Use a potato masher to reach your preferred texture, whether smooth, chunky, or a mix of both.

5. Garnish and Finish

Top with fresh parsley and finish with a generous sprinkle of Cleve's Texas Two-Step.
