Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute kosher dill pickles for half-sour pickles.

    Different from any potato salads we've had before, but we liked it fairly well. It complemented the grilled sausages we had with it. The pickles and onions weren't as strong as I'd feared. Might make again.

    This is a great potato salad! I made it exactly as written except I did omit the nigella seeds. I used Bubbie's Kosher Dill Pickles - the best! Use the best pickles you can find because they are a large part of the recipe. Everyone loved it!

    Nice potato salad! Next time I might cut back on the pickles but that’s probably a matter of personal taste. In the headnote Perelman says the nigella seeds are optional. I used them and I like the crunch they provide but I wouldn’t hesitate to skip them.
