Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using Greek yogurt instead of Miracle Whip. You can also add diced celery for extra crunch. If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked potatoes or even canned potatoes, though fresh is best for flavor. Adjust the amount of relishes to suit your taste, and feel free to add herbs like dill or parsley for added freshness.
