The recipe for this easy potato salad originated with my ex-step-mother-in-law.  She used to own a small restaurant in Los Angeles and she would serve  generous portions of her signature potato salad with all of her sandwiches.  It was always a hit with the daily crowd of customers, and it’s always a hit with my family and every guest I’ve ever served it to.

How to Make Dill Pickle Potato Salad

Making homemade potato salad is one of my favorite things to make during the warm summer months.

  1. Boil the potatoes in a large pot for approximately 20 minutes or until a fork tender.
  2. Drain the potatoes and set aside to cool for approximately 5 minutes.
  3. Remove the skins from the potatoes (the potatoes will still be warm to the touch when you peel them), and place the skinned potatoes in a large bowl.
  4. Run a knife through the potatoes to coarsely chop them.
  5. Using a wooden spoon slightly breakup and mash about 1/4 to 1/2 of the potatoes.
  6. Add the chopped celery, pickles, onions, parsley, salt and pepper to the potatoes and toss.
  7. Fold in the mayonnaise, yogurt and water to coat well.
  8. You’ll end up with a creamy potato salad that still has some soft chunks of potatoes.
