Jenny B's Potato Salad

Aubrey's mom makes the best potato salad, and she says it's an "act of love" since it takes a good chunk of time. She made this for Memorial Day, and it was even more of an "act of love" this time because I asked her to measure out the ingredients. She usually just measures by eye.


Ingredients:
5 pounds red potatoes
1 TBSP minced onion
1/2 cup Dill Salad Cubes (Mt. Olive), drained
10-15 green olives, sliced
1/2 jar (about 1/2 cup) of Drekeys Sandwich Salad Sauce
1 and 1/3 cup Mayo (Hellman's)
Salt & Pepper, to taste
10-12 hard boiled eggs, halved horizonally and sliced

Directions:
Boil potatoes for about 15-25 minutes. Make sure they are tender, but not too tender. You don't want them to mush when you mix all of the ingredients together. After boiling, peel and chop into about 1/2 to 1-inch cubes. Let cool slightly and mix in the rest of the ingredients (except the eggs). Fold in the eggs at the end. Refrigerate.

This looks like a great potato salad recipe! Forgive my stupid question... but where can I find the Dill Salad Cubes (and what are they?)

Joelen... Not a stupid question. The Dill Salad Cubes are with the pickles. They come in a jar and looks like relish. I'm sure you could mince up some dill pickles instead.

It does look good, and I KNOW that making it is an act of love, but you know I'm not an egg or olive lover......But.....I'm glad Jenny B has introduced you to different foods than what you grew up with! She's a great cook!
Illu mucho,
Mama
