My version of Mrs. Kuntz's Potato Salad

Possibly the best Potato Salad EVER!

2 pounds red potatoes (washed, and diced into 1/2 inch pieces, they should be pretty small)
6 radishes (diced small)
3-4 dill pickles (diced small, THEY MUST BE DILL)
1/4 cup red onion (yep small diced)
1/2- 1 cup mayonnaise (use more is you like I only like it to be the binder)
1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped fine, use more is you like, but a little goes a long way, you can use dried dill but only use 1 teaspoon)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (basically a good sprinkling)

Boil chopped potatoes in a roomy pot with a teaspoon or so of salt. Drain, transfer to a large bowl and let cool, don't rinse them the starch will make everything bind together. When the potatoes are no longer warm pile on the onion, pickle, and radish. Place the mayonnaise in the center and sprinkle all the dill and dry spices on it. Swirl around the spices and the mayonnaise and then GENTLY combine all the ingredients.
