A different twist on potato salad - more kosher dill, olive and parsley flavors than mayo. NOT the typical sweet standard. My Dad, C.J., made this ever since I can remember. A family favorite - no reunion is complete without it! TIP: Slightly undercook the potatoes. If mushy, they don't chop well nor hold their texture. Also, add the olive and pickle juice sparingly to taste. Secret to this dish is NOT TOO WET!!! Ingredients:
10 idaho baking potatoes |
10 eggs |
1 cup chopped flat leaf parsley |
3 celery ribs |
3 green onions (scallions) |
1 medium sweet white onion |
5 garlic cloves |
3 large kosher dill pickles ( ma brown are best if you can find them) |
1 cup spanish olives with pimento |
1 teaspoon white vinegar |
1 cup mayonnaise |
salt |
pepper |
olive juice |
pickle juice |
