Dad's Potato Salad

Dads Potato Salad by Sparow64

This was great! I love dill pickles and radishes in potato salad!
I used some green onions instead of the minced white onion she mentions in the ingredient list. I really like the cooking method of the potatoes. And letting the potatoes cool at room temp for a couple hours before cutting. It makes the texture so much better!
I never knew you could buy pickles already cut up for salads! I've never seen them so I just cut up a few dill pickles. I also used a splash of pickle juice to loosen up the mayo/mustard dressing a little.
The whole family loved it! They loved it so much, they started devouring it before it was ready to come out of the fridge--- and they only left me a smidgen for my photo! Lol ;) ;)
Your Dad makes a great potato salad Lori! :)

Glad this recipe turned out well for you. The photo looks good enough to eat! The recipe is similar to how I make potato salad. I peel and chop potatoes first then boil. That's how my mom did it. We do like onions so we use Vidalia onions. Next time hide some so you can have it.

Thanks Cheryl! :) That's how I've always done it too: peel, chop and boil. Then add the dressing when the potatoes are still warm. This way is great if you like your potatoes to hold their shape, and you have the extra time to let them cool! ;)

Oops. I lied. :( It wasn't Lori's recipe I used to make regularly, it was Marie's.

Yum, I love the sound of radishes in a potato salad! I too have never seen pickle cubes?? Maybe it's just something we all overlook, or they don't make anymore? Bookmarking this!

Hi everyone! So glad you enjoyed the recipe. Dill pickle cubes are still available here, but not at Walmart. I have to go to Ingles or Food City. The brand they have here is Mount Olive. So happy to see that people are still enjoying my recipes!
