    I grew up my entire life eating this one potato salad recipe made by my mom. It wasn't until I was a full-grown adult that I even realized different types of potato salad existed.

    My mom always made a huge batch of this pickle potato salad for family gatherings and even purchased a huge bowl specifically to hold the many servings needed. For reference, her potato salad bowl is about 4 or 5 times the size of an average large mixing bowl.

    If that doesn't tell you how much we loved eating it growing up, I'm not sure what would haha.

    She was not a fan of mayonnaise and always added mustard to help hide the taste. This is why recipes like this potato salad with pickles and her easy egg salad are both creamy and tangy.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    This potato salad recipe is pretty versatile. Adding in more or less mayo or mustard to adjust to taste and color or even adding in a little more pickle juice works great.

    We make potato salad with pickle by making it just a little on the drier side and then add in the pickle juice to get it creamy. The saltiness of the juice helps to bring out the other flavors in the salad and it's always a welcomed ingredient.

    Unlike most recipes wanting you to chop the eggs, we shred them on a cheese grater. I've found out that through trial and error you get a much creamier result when the yolks have been pulverized like they are with the grater. Well worth it.
