Good flavored potato salad! The only thing I did different was to leave out the dill and oil. I used 1 cup of mayo and added chopped dill pickles, and a little pickle juice for more flavor. Excellent with ham!

For a family barbecue I had to double up the recipe and of course I let it sit in the refrigerator for about 6 hrs for the flavors to get a chance to mingle. All in all, it is a good recipe and one that has been around for a long time. We liked it, and there were no complaints from the peanut gallery. I would not use Miracle Whip, Mayo only, and would definitely add more onion next time. I would also play around with the amounts for us.

Delicious! I cut the recipe in half and there was plenty for at least 3 people...loved the touch of the green pepper...never tried that in a potato salad before...I normally add some diced jalapeno's...but I don't think they were invented yet...we are talking 65 years ago...hehe...I didn't have dill seed so use dill weed instead...I love the red skins on the potatoes so I left them on...made for "Bill Board" tag game...
