Everyone loves this potato salad! I use dill pickles instead of the traditional sweet pickles and a German stone ground mustard (Inglehoffer) that is fantastic . Some of my family members do not like raw onion (me included) so I will dip us out a bowl before I add the onions. It is rare to have any leftovers, so if you want some for later you better hide you a little bowl of it!
