Pickle Potato Salad Ingredients:

8 C. potato, diced small (about 8 potatoes)

6 hard boiled eggs

1 3/4 C. onion, diced (about 2 small onions)

1 C. celery, finely chopped

1/2 C. dill pickles, finely chopped

1/4 C. relish

1 1/2 C. mayo

3 TBS mustard

1/4 C. pickle juice

1/4 C. milk or cream

Optional:

1 tsp sugar

1/2 C diced red pepper

Dill Weed for garnish

Directions:

Peel and dice your potatoes. Bring to a hard boil for about 3 mins and then turn off burner, cover and let sit for 5 mins. Please check them often; you want them somewhat firm so they don’t fall apart when you start mixing everything together.

Quick trick: Once you’ve drained all of the water, turn your burner to med-high and place your pan with potatoes back on. For about two minutes, stir constantly so the potatoes don’t stick to the bottom. You’re cooking out all the extra water out of the potatoes which makes a HUGE difference. Use this trick when you make mashed potatoes as well.

Place potatoes in a bowl to cool. Once they have cooled sufficiently, place in the fridge for about 3 hrs. Dice all other ingredients except egg. Add ingredients to potatoes and give it a stir! Lastly, mix in egg. Salt and Pepper to taste.
