Anyone have the recipe for Juan Pollo potato salad????

I'm looking for the recipe for Juan Pollo's potato salad. I used to prefer my family's potato salad until I tried Juan Pollo's, which I believe is only available in Southern California. Everyone I know loves this dish! It contains black olives and shredded carrots, but it’s not just mayonnaise. I'm not sure if it includes sour cream, Mexican crema, or something else. It's so delicious, and I hope someone can share the recipe! Thank you!

I’ve searched everywhere but can’t find the recipe. I think you may have to call the store. By law, they have to supply the ingredients if you ask them.

From my great grandmother by way of my Mom: Serves 4 to 8 Clean 8 russet potatoes Boil until fork tender. Peel and cut into bite size pieces. Place cut up pieces in non-reactive work bowl (I use a large Pyrex.) Pour 1/2 cup dill pickle juice from a jar of pickles over the hot potatoes. (Contains a lot of vinegar and a flavor that can’t be found in just vinegar.) To the potatoes add: one sweet onion, diced fine 4 dill pickles, diced medium 4 ribs celery, sliced 3 large eggs, hard boiled, peeled, and diced salt pepper celery seed enough Best Foods mayonnaise to bind the salad together. Chill for at least 4 hours. The longer it sits, the better it tastes. Keeps for about 4 days.

I know this question was posted 7 years ago, but I ll post this anyway just in case somebody comes across it…

Ingredients

4 russet potatoes whole unpeeled

1/3 c minced green onion

1/3 c shredded carrot

Directions

1.) Boil 4-5 russet potatoes whole unpeeled. Place in refrigerator immediately. Wait 45minutes to an hour. Peel Potatoes then mash slightly. The refrigerator and mash process gives the salad the creamy texture!
