Chop Pickles for Potato Salad

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Richard Buccola and today on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you how to make some good old fashioned American potato salad. Okay, so we're going to, while the potatoes are still cooking, I actually just put my scallions right in with my celery. One of my aunts, I don't know if you call them tricks or not, she used to use a little dill pickle, and lots of your stores, I actually couldn't get down to the lower east side where some of the pickle, there's actually a guy that's there, he's been there for a hundred years, best pickles in the world. But these are just store bought, simple dill pickles. Kosher dills. I'm going to chop them up real fine. I need about a quarter of a cup, so I'm going to say chopping these up for, it would be about one pickle, I guess. So they're cut into quarters already, which actually helps me, just going to get right here and just chop it. And I'm going to go really quick and I'm not going to worry if it's big enough or small enough, because what I like to do, and I'll just make my first cut. You could do the same, it's very simple. I'll just put everything in the middle, put my point down and just start chopping, lifting just the back of the knife up, keeping the tip down. And when I get back, I'm going to add this. We're going to start showing you how to make the dressing and how to add it all together here on Expert Village."
