potato salad with sweet mayonnaise and mustard. There are no potato bits left because the potatoes have been entirely pureed. It’s excellent, and I learned the recipe from my wife’s grandma (without any measurements). Serve warm, cold, or hot. Easily prepared in advance and kept cold for one or two nights.

It’s not as good as my grandma’s recipe 😉 but it’s a darn close second! I will absolutely make it again.
Perfect recipe! Don’t change a thing when you make it!!
I have been making this sweet pickle potato salad all of my cooking life. I use leftover mashed potatoes when I have some or I boil potatoes. Sweet pickle juice is the secret to the great taste of this salad.
Wonderful! My mom’s old time recipe which everyone always loved. Simply the best!
