C.j.'s Dill Pickle and Olive Potato Salad image

A different twist on potato salad - more kosher dill, olive and parsley flavors than mayo. NOT the typical sweet standard. My Dad, C.J., made this ever since I can remember. A family favorite - no reunion is complete without it! TIP: Slightly undercook the potatoes. If mushy, they don't chop well nor hold their texture. Also, add the olive and pickle juice sparingly to taste. Secret to this dish is NOT TOO WET!!!
