Secret Ingredient Potato Salad
Best ever potato salad with eggs, green onions, celery, and pickles.
Ingredients
- 7 medium russet potatoes
- 3 eggs hard boiled and chopped
- 4 green onions sliced
- 2 large dill pickles diced (If you prefer sweet pickles, you can use those instead.)
- 2 stalks celery diced
- ½ cup black olives sliced
Sauce:
- 1 cup Miracle Whip or mayonnaise I use light Miracle Whip
- 2 Tbsp milk
- 1 tsp yellow mustard
- 1 tsp pickle juice optional
- Salt and pepper to taste I used kosher salt
Instructions
- Peel potatoes if desired. Sometimes I leave the skins on. Boil in salted water till fork tender. Drain and rinse with cold water. Cool completely and cube.
- In large bowl, combine potatoes, eggs, onions, pickles, celery, and olives in a large bowl.
- Combine Miracle Whip, milk, mustard, and pickle juice in a small bowl and add to potato mixture.
- Stir lightly till well mixed. Add salt and pepper to taste. If it is too dry, add more Miracle Whip.
Notes
- I don't like my potato salad really saucy, but you can add as much sauce as you like.
- Make sure you salt the water you cook the potatoes in. It makes a huge difference in their flavor.
- I like Miracle Whip because not only does it have a more zippy flavor, but it has less fat than mayo. But mayo will also work. If you use mayo, I think it tastes better if you add a little sugar to the sauce.
- You really can't mess up this recipe, just adapt it to whatever your family likes!
