Kraft Kitchens Tips

Serving Suggestion

For a great summer meal, serve this classic potato salad with grilled chicken breasts and a fresh fruit salad.

Picnic Safety Tip

When taking food to a picnic, do so in an insulated bag with a reusable ice pack. If you don't have any reusable ice packs, freeze individual juice boxes the night before the picnic. When you're ready to go, pack the frozen juice boxes around the foods in the cooler. The juice boxes will keep your food cold and will be thawed when you get to the picnic to serve as cold drinks for the kids.

Substitutes

Substitute MIRACLE WHIP Dressing for the mayo, GREY POUPON Dijon Mustard for the yellow mustard and 1/2 cup CLAUSSEN Sweet Pickle Relish for the dill pickle relish.

I used chopped sweet pickles, omitted the celery seed and covered the top with sliced hard cooked eggs instead of chopping and mixing in...it tasted just like my mother always make...can't get better than that!

I loved this recipe. I use only the whites of hard cooked eggs and fat free mayo. Fresh lemon juice helps the bland mayo. Dash instead of salt.

Occasionally, when I make this potato salad, I add a touch of hot sauce and it puts in just a touch of punch and very good.

Very much like my Grandmother used to make. Try it with Dijon musturd, it was all I had and I will only use it for now on!!!

I have made this recipe in the past, but used Kraft Miracle Whip (regular or light) instead because it is tangier. I have also used a 2/3 salad dressing and 1/3 sour cream for the base. Always have compliments.

Try adding 1/2 to 1 cup chopped bacon and 2 or 3 extra eggs for even more flavor.

This is the BEST potato salad ever, I too added more eggs and a little more mustard but that is to everyone's own taste....

I use 1/4 of quanity of potatoes as sweet potatoes. This is very good and surprises your guests.

I didn't follow this recipe exactly as my own recipe contains the same ingredients with the exception that I use Dill Weed instead of dill pickle relish. I like the taste of the Dill Weed better. And I always use Kraft Miracle Whip instead of Mayonnaise.
