EDITOR’S NOTE (December 27, 2021):  Added four new photos.  Updated recipe and instructions.

DISCLOSURE (SPONSORED):   When I posted this recipe on my blog in July 2018, I used a complimentary jar of sweet salad cubes provided by Mt. Olive Pickles.

I contacted the company and requested several jars.  A few days later, they arrived.  

I have not been paid to endorse the pickles nor any of the other pictured products.

All comments are my own.

HARD BOILED EGGS 

My Smooth Hard Boiled Eggs are excellent in Potato Salad.   

If the potatoes are allowed to boil until soft instead of fork-tender, they can still be used to make potato salad.

THE SWEET SALAD CUBES

USE FORK-TENDER POTATOES 

Potatoes should be boiled until fork tender. 

Boiling time will depend on thickness of each potato. 

Check them every 12 to 15 minutes to prevent overcooking.

 

 

THE DRESSING 

Make the creamy dressing with either mayo or Miracle Whip. 

Just a matter of personal preference. 

 

Mayonnaise

 

THE YELLOW MUSTARD

Like multitudes of Potato Salad lovers, I absolutely must have yellow mustard in mine.  LOVE the wonderful tang it provides.   Add by the teaspoon until satisfied with the taste.

USE SWEET SALAD CUBES OR SWEET RELISH

Both sweet salad cubes and sweet relish contain cucumbers, red peppers, and the same seasonings.  

The difference is size and texture.  Sweet relish has a fine/smooth texture.  Sweet salad cubes are crisp and larger.

Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 226kcal

Ingredients

  • 6 Russet potatoes
  • water for boiling
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt add to boiling water
  • 3 hard boiled eggs chopped
  • 1 medium white onion, chopped or red onion
  • 2 tablespoons sweet salad cubes or sweet relish
  • 1/2 tablespoon jarred pimentos (optional) chopped
  • 1/2 tablespoon yellow mustard add more or less as desired
  • salt to taste
  • coarse ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika for garnish optional

Instructions

  • Thoroughly wash potatoes. Do not peel.
  • Place washed potatoes in bottom of a large saucepan. Cover with water. Add salt.
  • Simmer over medium-high heat until potatoes are fork tender (not hard/crunchy). Boiling time depends on thickness of potatoes. Check regularly. If the potatoes do become mushy, they can still be used to make Potato Salad.
  • Drain water from fork-tender potatoes. Allow to cool.
  • Peel skin off each potato. Chop into small pieces.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine chopped potatoes, chopped hard boiled eggs, chopped onions, sweet salad cubes (or sweet relish), and pimentos (if using).
  • Add mayonnaise (or Miracle Whip) by the tablespoon until satisfied with creamy texture. Add mustard by the teaspoon until satisfied with taste. Season with salt and coarse ground black pepper. Stir together until well combined.
  • Sprinkle top of prepared potato salad with paprika (if using). This step is optional.
  • Serve hot or cold.
  • Although delicious warm, it tastes better after 24 hours in the fridge. Place potato salad in a container and seal shut with an airtight lid or foil. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
