For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of chopped fresh dill or chives to the salad. Adjust the amount of pickle brine to your liking; if you prefer a tangier salad, add a little more. But do so incrementally. Using light mayonnaise and Miracle Whip significantly reduces the fat content without sacrificing flavor. Be gentle when mixing to prevent the potatoes from becoming mushy.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
15 mins
Place the potatoes in a large stockpot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until a knife easily pierces the potatoes but they remain firm. (15 mins)
02
Step
5 mins
Drain the hot water and immediately add cold water to the pot to stop the cooking process and cool the potatoes. Set aside. (5 mins)
03
Step
10 mins
Carefully remove the yolks from 4 of the hard-boiled eggs. Discard the yolks or save for another use. Roughly chop the 4 egg whites and 2 whole eggs. Reserve the remaining 2 eggs for garnish. Add the chopped eggs to a large mixing bowl along with the chopped onion and pickles. (10 mins)
04
Step
5 mins
In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk together the light mayonnaise, light Miracle Whip, Greek yogurt, dill pickle brine, yellow mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. (5 mins)
05
Step
10 mins
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, use a paring knife to gently remove the peels. They should slip off easily. Cut the peeled potatoes into small, even cubes. (10 mins)
06
Step
5 mins
Add the cubed potatoes to the mixing bowl with the egg mixture. Gently toss with a wooden spoon to combine the ingredients. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss again until all ingredients are well coated. (5 mins)
07
Step
5 mins
Transfer the potato salad to a serving bowl. Slice the remaining 2 hard-boiled eggs and arrange them artfully on top of the salad as a garnish. (5 mins)
