July 4th Potato Salad

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

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!
