    This is the perfect July 4th Potato Salad to take to your picnic, potluck or backyard BBQ.

    July 4th Potato Salad

    I adore a homemade potato salad.

    It’s worth every minute of time and ounce of effort to prepare.

    For this recipe, I added my “all-time favorite” potato salad ingredient…

    Chopped pickles!

    I just happened to see them when grabbing the dijon mustard and miracle whip.  Hmmm…wonder how this would taste mixed in??? 

    Verdict: Delicious.

    Enjoy!

      I usually use pickles in mine as well, but I prefer sweet pickles 🙂 I use them in my egg salad and my tuna salad also!

      Pickles- not just for pregnant women anymore!

      We use pickles in ours too. We also add capers. My sister adds chopped olives to hers. Try it, you might like it! 🙂

      I’ve always added pickles to my potato salad, and also 2 TB pickle juice. My recipe is about the same as yours otherwise, except I add more spices: celery salt, parsley, oregano and paprika.

      I have always added sweet pickkles and some of the juice to mine…sometimes I add radishes too, because I don’t like onions.

      I love potato salad. I will make one tomorrow for the 4th of July to share with my family. Then on July 31 I will be making one that will feed 35 people. I’m making that one for a wedding buffet for a friend’s daughter, which is the following day. I’ve never made one that big but have looked at recipes online to get the jist of how many potatoes to use, like 10 pounds!! My recipe is from memory. I’ve made it for years like my mom used to make. It is done by taste as well. It’s always better to let it set overnight and it tastes even better!! I’ll let you know how it turns out!!! I watched the utubevideo of the newscast. Good job and keep up the good work!! Happy 4th of July!!!

      The pickles do add a nice touch don’t they! I also use pickle relish and sometimes a bit of horseradish to give it a little zip of flavor! YUMMY!
