Whether you’re making brisket or barbacoa it’s always nice to have a couple side dishes to round out your barbecue. Ample amounts of mustard and dill pickles make this Texas-style potato salad tangy and pungent. Mayonnaise, however, adds a creaminess that keeps this dish from going into mouth-puckering territory. The cornbread is savory, cheesy, spicy, and southern style, which means unlike northern style cornbread there is no sugar. If you wanted to drizzle a little honey on your finished cornbread, we could probably forgive you, but most Texans won’t!
