❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
We love this recipe because it’s not exactly like most potato salads. It has dill pickles and is made with red potatoes. It’s delicious and my family loves it. Plus, we don’t peel the potatoes, which makes this salad even easier. We love the addition of honey mustard instead of regular yellow mustard, it really takes this potato salad up a notch!
🍴KEY INGREDIENTS
- Red potatoes, unpeeled
- 4 eggs
- Dill pickles
- Regular onions or green onions
- Celery seeds
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Honey mustard
- Mayonnaise
SWAPS
You can switch out the dill pickles and use sweet relish and use red onion. You can always use regular potatoes. We always use Duke’s mayonnaise, but you can use whatever brand you love or replace it with Miracle Whip.
🍽️HOW TO MAKE
This potato salad is easy to make, and the most time-consuming part is boiling the eggs and the potatoes.
COOKING STEPS
Step 1
Cover the potatoes with water and boil about 25 minutes or until soft when stuck with a fork. Remove from water and let cool.
Step 2
In a large bowl, cut potatoes into chunks and add chopped eggs, dill pickles, onion, celery seeds, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Whisk together the mayonnaise and honey mustard and add to the other ingredients.
