Enjoy the best, homemade Amish potato salad recipe, made famous by Walmart! This gluten free potato salad has a classic, old fashioned taste dotted with pimentos, sweet pickles, and hard boiled eggs.
Place scrubbed whole potatoes, with their skins on, in a large pot. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until fork tender.
Drain the potatoes and then leave them in the colander at room temperature for several hours, up to overnight, so they cool completely. Once they have cooled, use your fingernails or a vegetable peeler to peel off the skins, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl stir together the dressing mixture, all the remaining ingredients except the hard boiled eggs.
Add the potatoes and chopped eggs to the bowl and stir to gently combine. Transfer to an airtight container and chill 3 hours, up to overnight, before serving.

Notes
Note about sugar: Almost all Amish potato salad recipes contain sugar, some quite a bit! When testing the recipe I found one tablespoon was adequate for an added hint of sweetness with the pickles, but it may be left out entirely and it will still maintain a slightly sweet taste. Make-Ahead NotesFor best results, boil the potatoes the night before. Let them sit in a colander overnight at room temperature to cool completely. The hard boiled eggs may also be cooked and chilled the night before. Assemble the potato salad 24 hours, or up to 3 hours, before serving.
