My wonderful mother used to make the most amazing potato salad, I don’t know if she had the special touch or what but this salad is AMAZING!!! I don’t always get it correct in my opinion but when I make it people love it! If you don’t like the potato salads that are heavy with just mayo then this one is for you. Put in some yellow mustard, pickle juice (yes, pickle juice) with a bit of mayo and you have a wonderful dressing. Sprinkle some fresh dill and it even makes it all that much better!
Tip: Add a sage leaf to make it pop with some color.
Serve with some grilled red & yellow peppers and a beautiful table setting!
Another great side would be a beer bread, this is a sure crowd pleaser.
Finish off the plate with some grilled chicken and you have a feast!
