Ingredients
Scale

- 6 tablespoons of dill pickle juice
- 2 cups of chopped dill pickles, 1/2 inch dice
- 2 cups of chopped celery, 1/2 inch dice
- 1/4 cup Newman's Own Oil and Vinegar Dressing
- 1Â 1/4 cups mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Instructions
- Fill a large stock pot with cold water. Add the potatoes. Place the pot over high heat and and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. The potatoes should be just tender when pierced with a knife.

- Remove the towel and add the dill pickles, celery, dressing, mayonnaise, parsley, salt and pepper. Toss to fully coat the potatoes.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the potatoes are chilled.

Notes
- Cut the potatoes in roughly the same sized chunks so they cook evenly. A knife should be able to pierce the potatoes when they are perfectly cooked.
- Marinate the warm, cooked potato chunks in pickle juice. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel to absorb any condensation.
- Check the seasonings of kosher salt and pepper before serving.
- This makes a big batch of potato salad. The recipe can be cut in half or quartered. Store potato salad in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.
