This is exactly the recipe I was looking for. It was my first time making potato salad homemade. I made a few minor tweaks: I only had dill pickles, so I used only those. I also used Vegenaise mayo, but still put egg in half of the recipe to see what it adds to the flavor, for future reference. Thanks for sharing!

I had a hard time feeding 6 people using only 4 c. potatoes, so I doubled the recipe. I left out the sweet pickles and used all dill instead. I used mayo. Love the addition of the celery seed in the recipe. I added lots of fresh cracked pepper. I found it to be a tad too salty, as I cooked the potatoes in salt, plus the salt from the pickles. Next time I will cut down. All in all a good basic salad that will be repeated with a few changes. Thanks for sharing Nimz!

Excellent! My family loved this recipe so much. It is perfect: no excessive ingredients, great flavor and easy. I couldn't believe how many ingredients that alot of other potato salad recipe required which is why I chose this one. What a lucky find! I made the recipe exactly as stated except I had to use sweet & dill relish instead of pickles because I didn't have any. And I used 1 tsp celery salt instead of the celery seeds and salt. What a yummy recipe! You won't be disappointed or exhausted with this one.

I was one of the original members of Recipezaar that was truly a community of individuals that enjoyed each other in forums and chat rooms. I've been a member of this site since 2003. Made some tremendous friends that I still think of often. I'll continue coming here because my recipes are here and so many more that I tried over the years as a member. It's just a tad boring now and just another recipe site like all the rest. Sad.
