I love potato salad. Nothing says American food like a good old fashioned, classic potato salad. They are great for barbecues, picnics, casual suppers or as a potluck dish. Make as little or as much as you want. I make a large batch at the beginning of the week and the kids will munch on it all week. It goes really well as a side with brats, burgers and hot dogs.
This recipe is for good old fashioned potato salad with eggs, celery and dill pickles. When I was at the store the other day I found a jar of, get this, dill relish! I don’t know if I have had my head in the sand, but I have never seen that before. I bought a few jars and that is what I used in this recipe. You can just chop up pickles, but I thought the dill relish was just a great time saver.
