3/4

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Make Ahead

Salad can be made ahead of time. Refrigerate up to 24 hours before serving.

Substitute

Prepare using MIRACLE WHIP Light Dressing.

Note

The potatoes in this salad are cooked until very tender so that, when mixed with the other ingredients, the chunks lose their shape or are "smashed."

Really good. Used mayo instead of miracle whip and dill pickle relish instead of sweet. It was really good. My kids even liked it.

Made as directed I found it could use a little more seasoning of some kind.

Why is it that all the Kraft recipes have LITTLE or NO seasonings?? They are all too unimaginitive and totally boring!! (As if miracle whip is a substitute for salt, pepper, onion, garlic, dill etc!!) And paprika sprinkled on the top definately does not count, because it is only on the top!!

This is almost the way I usually make it - except I leave out the eggs for certain family members, and add about 1/4 cup of spicy Italian dressing, and a splash of yellow mustard for some tang.

This is a very good recipe for potato salad, I have always made it this way.

This is the taste I grew up with as a kid. The only difference from my mother's is that, while the potatoes are still hot, she would add the vinegar and seasonings and allow to cool befor she added the Miracle Whip. I hate the taste of mayonnaise and this is just perfect!

I have not made this yet, but it looks wonderful. I'm wondering if it's served warm or cold? (having trouble posting this. 3rd time's a charm I hope!)

I decided to make this recipe exactly, despite my extreme pickiness when it comes to pickle flavor. And the one thing I will change next time I make it: the relish. Didn't love it. Next time I will make it with no relish and I will chop my own dill pickles. Other than that, a tasty potato salad.
