They can be eaten for breakfast, as a side dish or as a snack. Pickle juice adds a tangy twist to this classic dish and is a great way to use up leftover pickle juice. This dish has a complex taste that blends the earthiness of potatoes with the tanginess of the pickle juice. It is perfect for those who like bold flavors and is sure to be a hit with friends and family!
