ingredients
- 236.59 ml water
- 118.29 ml butter or 118.29 ml margarine
- 59.14 ml vinegar
- 5 eggs (3 of them hard boiled)
- 118.29 ml sugar
- 22.18 ml cornstarch
- 177.44 ml mayonnaise
- 177.44 ml heavy cream, whipped (I use half and half or just milk, it's a little runny but works if beaten very cold)
- 2721.55 g red salad potatoes, cooked, peeled and sliced (I just use regular potatoes and cube)
- 118.29 ml chopped onion
- 59.14 ml sliced green onion
- 4.92 ml salt
- 2.46 ml pepper
- 1 leaf lettuce (optional)
- paprika
directions
- In the top of a double boiler over boiling water, heat water, butter and vinegar. (I skip the double boiler and just prepare over very low heat and have never had a problem.) In a bowl, beat two eggs (the ones that are not hard boiled); add sugar and cornstarch. Add to butter mixture; cook and stir constantly until thick, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Stir in the mayonnaise; fold in the whipped cream.
- In a large bowl, toss potatoes, onion, green onions, salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over and mix gently. Chill. Serve in a lettice lined bowl if desired. Garnish with the 3 hard cooked eggs and sprinkle with paprika.
