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 often use this recipe. I usually add 1/2 tsp ground mustard and substitute chopped green olives with pimentos for the pickles and celery.

i tried this recipe, and then i made the recipe the way my mom and grandmother made it. i did not add the mayo or the pickle relish. my mom and grandmom always used kraft catalina dressing in their potato salads instead of the mayo and the pickle relish
