Pickled Potato Salad

We all have our own versions of potato salads, this one surprised me in how it was made by my man the other day...all in one pot with the added twist of pickles made for a very colorful potato salad that was zesty and tasty - perfect for BBQs and a way to sneak your kids into eating their vegetables. Very easy - and very good. Enjoy!


  • 4-5 potatoes

  • 2 eggs

  • 2 large carrots

  • 1 cup frozen peas

  • 1 large crisp dill pickle

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (light version just fine)

  • 1/4 cup dijon mustard

  • salt and pepper

  • splash of vinegar

  • ***Equipment needed:

  • one large bowl, small bowl, one large pot, one working stove top, and one working microwave, spoon and several forks to share this great pickled potato salad with.



  1. Put water into pot and place carrots, eggs in their shells, potatoes into pot.

  2. Make sure the water covers the eggs and potatoes at least by an inch.

  3. Turn on water and let come to a boil.
