Tips

  • Pickle the red onions ahead of time for best flavor. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  • Serve chilled directly from the jars. These are perfect for picnics, lunches, or as part of a smorgasbord.
  • Ensure potatoes are fully cooled before mixing with the dressing to prevent them from becoming too mushy.
