We vote a resounding yes! This tangy twist on the classic potato salad recipe will have everyone at the potluck asking "Who made the potato salad?" so they can snag the recipe. Ingredients for Dill Pickle Potato Salad The full list of ingredients for this dill pickle potato salad are below, but here's a brief recap: Potatoes: We suggest Yukon Gold potatoes because their starchy texture allows them to soak up dressing, and they’re sturdy enough to withstand all the mixing required for the perfect potato salad. Pickles: Dill pickles come in lots of varieties, so we recommend you choose your favorite. We used Vlassic spears for our recipe, so please keep in mind that you may need to adjust measurements based on the size of your pickles. Pickle juice: Pickle juice is also added to the dressing to amp up the pickle flavor! The amount of pickles and pickle juice can be adjusted to your liking in this recipe. Add more if you want a stronger dill pickle flavor, or start with a little less if you want a milder flavor. Jessica Furniss Make-Ahead Tip Boil your potatoes and eggs the night before you plan to make this potato salad, and keep them in the fridge. This allows the recipe to come together much faster. Can You Freeze Potato Salad? Technically, the answer is yes. You can store dill pickle potato salad in a zip-top bag for up to three months. Do we recommend it? No. It’s just one of those recipes that doesn’t maintain its peak flavor or texture after freezing. Can You Reuse Pickle Brine? Ingredients 3 lb.
