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.

Best Ever! Many compliments and everyone wants the recipe. Only changes were that I used sweet relish like someone suggested and I always sprinkle the hot diced potatoes with a little Italian dressing. This one is replacing my old recipe.

I like it because it has dill pickle in it. My family does not like the sweet relish that most potato salads use.

I have always had trouble with other potato salad recipes in the past, but not this time. This is authentic and delicious. I took the other reviewers advice and used sweet pickle relish and I omitted the eggs. I would definitely make this for a barbecue.
