EDITOR’S NOTE (December 13, 2019): PIN here on Pinterest. My Hard Boiled Eggs are perfect for this recipe.
Dill Pickle Potato Salad is a delicious side dish that pairs well with a variety of mains. Serve warm or cold.
I used Mt. Olive Dill Salad Cubes in this recipe. They add texture and flavor.
The company provided several jars of complimentary pickles. With great joy, I opened a jar to make this amazing recipe.
Available for purchase in most grocery stores.

Ingredients

- Thoroughly wash potatoes. Do not peel. Set aside. Add 2 cups of water to a large sauce pan. Stir in salt. Add washed potatoes. Add more water to cover.
- Simmer over medium-high heat until fork tender and potatoes break easily. If they are hard/crunchy, boil 5-10 minutes longer. Rinse fork tender potatoes in cold water. Cool 15-20 minutes. Peel. Cut into bite sized pieces.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine potatoes, chopped eggs, chopped onions, chopped dill pickles (or use 2-3 tablespoons of dill salad cubes), and chopped pimentos (if using). Add mayonnaise (or Miracle Whip) one tablespoon at a time until satisfied with creamy texture. Add mustard a little at a time until satisfied. Season with salt. Stir together.
- Sprinkled dried dill weed over top of prepared potato salad. Adds flavor and makes a nice presentation. This step is optional.
- Serve immediately. Or, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Although delicious immediately after preparation, it tastes better the next day.
- If desired, garnish each serving with 2-3 whole hamburger dill chips.
Firm boiled potatoes are too crunchy in potato salad. The best texture is boiled until fork tender. These semi-mushy potatoes will fall apart after boiling. Simple peel and gently chop into small pieces.
VARIATION: Instead of dill weed, lightly sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of paprika over prepared potato salad OR sprinkle over each individual serving. It adds a pretty splash of red color!
What a delicious looking recipe, thank you for sharing! Definitely making this the next time I head to the store.
You’re welcome! Enjoy.
