Potato Salad (with dehydrated potato chunks)


Seriously, who DOESN'T love a good POTATO SALAD. My family LOVES potato salad, but I despise making it. Why?
Because I HATE PEELING POTATOES!!!

My kids were begging for a fresh bowl the other day & I cringed thinking about peeling all those potatoes when I had an "A-HA" moment. The potato chunks are
ALREADY PEELED & SLICED!
Whoa! I almost fell over I was SO excited. I didn't know how it would turn out, but I didn't care because I DIDN'T have to PEEL POTATOES.

So I grabbed my classic potato salad ingredients & went to work. Here's my recipe for yummy potato salad:

1 1/2 cups Diced Dill Pickles (the BEST part in my opinion)
Pickle Juice (from the jar)
7 Hard Boiled Eggs
1/2 cup Mayo
1/4 cup Ranch Dressing
1/8 cup Mustard
1 teaspoon Black Pepper


The first thing you're going to do is boil the potatoes for about 20 minutes just like you would for fresh potatoes. You just don't have to peel or dice them yourself. (aka HEAVEN)
Drain them & put them in a BIG BOWL (this makes a HUGE batch for potlucks & things like that so get a BIG bowl). Then open your pickle jar & dump the juice INTO the potatoes. You want just enough to cover them, (see picture below) then refrigerate them for about an hour to an hour & a half.


While they get cold in the fridge, cut up your pickles & boil your eggs etc. However,
I DO NOT RECOMMEND DROPPING YOUR PICKLE JAR
on the floor when you're trying to put it away.
Have you ever tried sweeping/mopping/picking up pickles & glass
ALL AT THE SAME TIME?
Again, I DO NOT recommend it.


After your potatoes are cool (& your pickle mess is cleaned up) go ahead & drain the pickle juice & add the rest of the ingredients. Mix it well & you're ready to eat some of the best potato salad you've ever had. And the best part? You DIDN'T HAVE TO PEEL POTATOES.

Enjoy!
