Oh my gosh is this potato salad good! I always make my grandma's recipe that my mom taught me how to make and we love that and this one is right up there with grandma's. Wouldnt have a problem serving this one warm especially with my DH always wanting a "taste" which is a small bowl full. Liked using the red potatoes for a change, not a lot of hard boiled eggs, the red onion has a milder flavor, and love dijon mustard. This potato salad will be made often! Thank you hon for sharing your recipe! Made and reviewed for the Australian/NewZealand Forum's Recipe Swap #65 - June 2012.

I really wasn't sure about this one, but decided to try it. WOW am I glad. I don't think I let the potatoes drain quite enough, but no problem. They still soaked up the dill juice (and maybe a little water). I think I added the mayo mixture before they were cool enough, but again, no problem. I couldn't wait to try it, and even warm, delicious!!! Can't wait for this bowl of potato salad to get cold, and sit a while. I used Nathan's pickles and pickle juice, and Kraft mayo, and made my own buttermilk. Wonderful.

This is one great recipe! I used gherkins instead of dill and added some chopped chives and parsley, everything else was as per recipe. I only got to serve half the salad with dinner as DD tasted it beforehand and sat down to a plate full of this warm before dinner! DS and his GF loved this salad and there was a bit of a fight over who should take the leftovers for lunch next day. Everyone loved this salad, this is a definate to make again! Thanks Mom2Rose for a great recipe.

This recipe was super easy and everyone loved it. I used sweet pickle juice instead of dill pickle and I think it really appealed to the kids who don't usually like potato salad. Oh, and the next day it was even better as the sauce to a chance to sink into the potatoes. (I had kept it cold the day before.)

I see a theme here, we ate this warm too!! It was delicious and fresh tasting despite using dried dill. My husband typically doesn't like potato salad and he loved this. For me I will add a little more buttermilk & mayo as I like it a little more wet (though I may have used too many potatoes). I cut the recipe in half easily and I used scallions in place of the red onions as I always do in salads. I will be making this again, especially since it was so delicious warm with grilled chicken last night, and it is quick bc it is not really necessary to let the potatoes cool all the way.
