Combining the tangy flavors of bread and butter pickles with the creamy goodness of a classic potato salad, this dish is sure to become a favorite at family gatherings or cozy picnics in the park.
**Ingredients:**
– 2 pounds red potatoes, cubed
– 1 cup mayo
– 1/4 cup mustard
– 1/4 cup bread and butter pickles, chopped
– 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
– 2 celery stalks, chopped
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
– 1 tablespoon sugar
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika
– Chopped fresh dill for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the cubed potatoes and cook until just fork-tender, about 10-15 minutes. Be careful not to overcook. Drain and let cool.
2. In a small bowl, mix the mayo, mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, and paprika. This flavorful dressing will give your potato salad a zesty kick.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, chopped bread and butter pickles, red onion, and celery. Gently toss the ingredients together to distribute them evenly.
4. Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently fold everything together until well coated. Be sure not to mash the potatoes; you want them to remain intact for the perfect texture.
5. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preference. The pickles will already add a bit of saltiness, so start with a little and add more as needed.
6. Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least an hour to let the flavors meld together. This salad tastes even better when made a few hours ahead of time, allowing the flavors to develop.
7. Before serving, give the salad a final stir and taste. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with chopped fresh dill for a burst of freshness and color.
Voilà! Your Bread and Butter Pickle Potato Salad is now ready to impress your guests. Serve this unique dish alongside grilled meats or as a main course for a light and satisfying meal.
