Great Recipe...I added a few things

Great basic recipe. Like others I doubled the dill pickles. I added 6 thin stalks of celery diced, a can of sliced black olives, and 3 tbsp of capers. I had a red pepper on hand, so I diced that and threw it in. Finally, I eliminated the ketchup so it would look more like traditional potato salad.

Great basic recipe

Very good. I would double the amount of dill pickles (but then again, I love dill pickles!). Don't leave out the salt. The salt makes a big difference in the taste. Most cooks will probably want to add their favorite ingredients, like black olives, etc.

delicious, but...

I just made this and it was delicious, but it didn't look very appetizing. Did anyone add celery and/or carrots for color?
