Classic Potato Salad

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.
