Ingredients
  • 6 mid sized Russet potatoes , Scrubbed and cleaned
  • 4 Tbsp juice from Kosher dill pickle jar ( my secret)
  • 3 Tbsp finely chopped dill pickles (Not pickle relish)
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 1/2 Tsp Fresh Chive
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1 or 2 chopped scallions
  • 2 hard boiled eggs, chopped
  • 1 cup mayonnaise (Hellman's or Best)
  • 1 tsp vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • Sour Cream
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Parpika and Green onions for garnish
  • Love (wink)

Directions
  1. Bring a pot of water to boil. Add the potatoes (skins on). Simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from pot. Let cool enough to handle, but still warm. Keep Skins on ! Cut potatoes into inch sized cubes.
  2. Put potatoes in to a large bowl. Let cool in bowl, then add the juice from the Kosher dill pickles. Add the finely chopped pickles themselves. Then add parsley, onions, celery, chives, scallions and hard boiled eggs.
  3. In a separate small bowl, mix mayonnaise with mustard and vinegar. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix in the dressing with the potato mixture. Again, salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Garnish with paprika and sliced green onions. Chill
  5. Before serving, stir and add a small dollop of sour cream and mix. (adds good moisture and taste)
  6. Enjoy

Adding pickle juice to potato or macaroni salad was a trick my grandmother taught me! I think it makes a huge difference. Very nice post. Thank you.


Marky!! This is the way I make mine, almost the same exact thing! Good stuff, thanks for the heads up...--Kn0x--


Gotta have that love in there to make it special! Great recipe - thanks for sharing!


Sounds great, I do mine similar with the dill pickle, love the added sour cream also. Got my 5


Sounds excellent hon.


Marky, this is a fabulous recipe! Love potato salad. Probably could eat it every day. Thanks for sharing your little secret! :)


I love dill pickle and it's very close to the way I make mine...good recipe!


Sounds like the perfect potato salad, Marky hon - thanks!!


Yummy!


Yep! This is great. Potato salad is sooo much better with dill pickles! LOVE your version.


Yum, I've never made potato salad with sour cream! And red onions are almost always better in my book! I heard something interesting on a Bobby Flay show, he said to add the dressing ingredients when the potatoes are hot, they will absorb more. That means burning your fingers while cutting them up, but great food requires sacrifices right?


Super YUM.. Cant wait to try this recipe! Always used the relish...interested to try the pickles chopped!
Thanks!
