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.

Excellent. I have been making this same recipe for 56 years and my mother made it before me. I sometimes used chopped dill pickle instead of relish.

I was always told that you used one egg per potato, so I increased the number of eggs. Also, my family prefers sweet pickle relish. With these adjustments, I just loved this potato salad as did my family.

Triple the eggs and add 3/4 cups chopped green olives for a super taste!

Greatest potato around. Been making it for years. I find it equally tasty with either Kraft miracle whip or mayo.
