Ingredients

    1 3/4 lbs cooked Potaoes (about 2 lbs raw)
    8 oz Kosher Dill Pickles
    7 oz Apple (red or golden Delicious)
    5.5 oz raw Onion
    fresh or dried Dill (1/2 bunch or 2 tbsp dry)
    1/2 cup pickle juice
    3-4 oz light Mayonnaise
    Salt
    1/2 tsp ground Mustard (or 1 tbsp Dijon mustard)

Tips

Dicing the potatoes before cooking makes less of a mess even if the pieces turned out to be slightly overcooked. The potato mash reduces the required amount of mayonnaise to make it a creamy mix.
The salad gets better the longer it sits (i.e. overnight in the fridge) but might need some extra mustard and salt the next day.
For a take-along picknic or lunch, slice up a hot dog and mix into the salad for a complete meal.


Directions

Peel potatoes and chop into bitesize pieces.
cook in saltwater. Smaller pieces cook faster, therefore reduces the cooking time to 10-15 minutes. Drain and let cool down.
Slice and chop apples, onions and pickles in small pieces (about 1/4"). Mix with Dill, Mustard, and pickle juice from the Dill Pickles.
Add cooled potatoes and mayonnaise, mix well and taste with salt.
