Peel the potatoes.
Cube the potatoes into small chunks.
Place the cubed potatoes in a stockpot and cover the potatoes with water and bring to a boil.
Mince the water chestnuts and put into a sauce pan.
Cover the chestnuts with chicken broth and add garlic and parsley and bring to a boil.
Reduce the broth in the water chestnuts until the water chestnuts have soaked up all that flavor. It takes about 10 minutes on high heat.
Dice your pickles and set aside.
Once the potatoes are fork-ready, drain the water and place the potatoes back in the stockpot.
Add water chestnut mixture, pickles, mayonnaise, mustard, and pickle juice and mix well until soft and creamy. Add a couple sliced pickles or fresh parsley to garnish.
