How to make Dill Pickle Potato Salad
Full recipe below in printable recipe card.
- Peel potatoes and cut into one-inch cubes. Make them as uniform as possible so they will cook at the same rate. Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with cold water, just about an inch above the potatoes. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until just fork tender, about 20 minutes. You want them soft, but not mushy-soft like you would for mashed potatoes. Drain and set aside to cool.
- While the potatoes are cooling, combine the Miracle Whip or mayo, olive oil, dill pickles and juice, fresh dill, salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl and mix well.
- Add the cooled potatoes and stir or toss well to combine.
- Refrigerate potato salad for at least 2-3 hours before serving. Garnish with more fresh dill and sliced dill pickles, if desired.
If you’re a hard-core dill pickle lover (like me!!) then you have to try this immediately. You’ll never look at potato salad the same again!
