Ingredients

1½ lbs Red skin potatoes
½ cup Mayonnaise
¼ cup Pickle juice
⅓ cup Dill pickles finely chopped
1 tablespoon Fresh chives finely chopped
1 tablespoon Fresh dill finely chopped
1 teaspoon Old bay
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt to taste

Instructions

Fill a large pot with cold water. Add the cubed potatoes to the large pot of water with a generous amount of salt, and place over medium-high heat. Boil the potatoes until they are fork-tender. You should be able to insert a fork into the potatoes with little resistance. Drain the boiled potatoes.

In a small bowl, mix the creamy mayo dressing. Set aside in the fridge until you are ready to use.
½ cup Mayonnaise, ¼ cup Pickle juice, 1 teaspoon Old bay, 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder, Salt
To a large bowl, add the potatoes, chopped pickles, fresh herbs, and potato salad dressing. Toss well to coat the potato mixture.
⅓ cup Dill pickles, 1 tablespoon Fresh chives, 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
Serve the salad right away, or store covered in the fridge for a couple of hours until you are ready to serve.

Notes

Dress potatoes while warm: Potatoes absorb the most flavor while they are still warm. It is best to bring the potatoes and dressing together as soon as you drain and dry off the boiled potatoes.

Taste for salt at the end: Pickle juice and pickles are generally salty on their own, so be light on the salt until everything has been mixed.

Add fresh herbs when serving: To keep the fresh herbs bright and keep the color vibrant, add the fresh dill and chives right before serving the potato salad.
