  • (How small depends on your personal preference.) Place in large bowl.
  • Combine the pickle cubes, dressing, mayonnaise, salt and pepper in a bowl.
  • Mix well.
  • Add the mayonnaise mixture to the potatoes and eggs and mix until well blended.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to let the flavors blend.
  • Personal taste should always dictate, so if you like your potato salad wet, make a little more dressing- or dry, make a little less.
  • The same goes for the amount of pickles you use.
  • Tweak the recipe to your personal tastes.

  1. This potato salad is great! My husband doesn't like crunchy things in his potato salad, so this is perfect for him! It is so nice and creamy. I did add a touch more Italian dressing. And I always use Kraft mayo(I buy it in the gallon jars, much cheaper!) Thanks for this recipe!!!
     
  2. Simple and basic but I never made a potatoe salad before and wanted just a simple and basic recipe...Very good, My husband thought it was yummy and I will be making it again. Thank you
     
  3. I brought this potato salad to a July 4th party. It was well-received. I changed the recipe a bit by adding yellow mustard and some chopped red onion. I liked the pickles in it, so that was a nice change. This is a very mild recipe. If it hadn't been for my added ingredients, I think it would have been boring for my tastebuds. Thank you for posting!
     
  4. I needed a potatoe salad recipe for a pot luck event and picked this one out of the 47,000 on this site. It was a hit. Good potatoe taste, not masked by a myriad of ingrediants. Great base recipe.
     
  5. My mom always tells me to make this recipe and it took me the LONGEST time to find this one again. I think this is the simplest and easist one to make. Thank-you
