First of all I have to admit that I did not use the Miracle Whip (don't get it), Used yughurt instead of the Sour cream (you guessed it - don't get it), local brand mayo, no celery seeds, used whole black mustard instead of the dry mustard (don't know what that is either), the sweet pickle was the homemade mango pickle my mum makes. So the 4 stars are not really for your recipe they are for the idea I got from you and what I turned it into. And yes chilli powder for the paprika. I feel pathetic.

This is an excellent potato salad recipe. I made the recipe several hours ahead of time. I cut the recipe in half and used a large left over baked potato. I added chopped hamburger dill pickle slices to mine and used juice from the pickles instead of the juice from sweet mixed pickles that the recipe calls for. It was really god the next day. I think I will make my potato salad like this from now on but add other things to it, depending on what my tastes are at the time I make it. Thanks CountryLady for another great recipe.

Loved this potato salad! The combo of mayo and miracle whip was good and I used a little relish for sweetness. Thanks C.L.

I enjoyed this salad. Added red onion to the green onion and used whole celery seed (doubling the amount). Also added Beau Monde seasoning to spice things up a bit.

This was delicious!!!!!!!!! I love the idea of splitting just the regular mayonnaise that you would normally put in a potato sald with sour cream and miracle whip. Super tasty.
