Father's Day Lunch: Cajun Potato-Sausage Salad

Don likes spicy food - and while I normally don't like Cajun seasonings, the ones in this recipe are seasonings I eat all the time. This was really tasty:

Cajun Potato Sausage-Salad
    6 small red potatoes (about 2-3" in diameter)
½ cup chopped red onion
¼ cup minced fresh parsley
6 Tablespoons cider vinegar, divided
½ lb kielbasa sausage, sliced
6 Tablespoons olive oil
1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon pepper
¼-½ teaspoon cayenne

Boil the potatoes 15-20 minutes or until knife inserts cleanly.  Drain; cut in 1/4" slices. Add onion, parsley and 3 tablespoons vinegar. Toss. Cook sausage in oil 5-10 minutes or until browned. Add to potato mixture. To the drippings in the pan, add the remaining ingredients, including the 3 tablespoons remaining vinegar. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Pour over salad; serve immediately.
