Notes

Feel free to shred your potatoes if you prefer. And if you don't like any crunchy texture in your potato salad, you can chop the celery, pickles, and onion in a food chopper.
If you don't care for miracle whip and are a mayo person, go ahead and substitute it. But in my opinion, it's better with Miracle Whip.
