Potato Salad

"This potato salad brings back fond memories for me. My mother always brought this to every family gathering that I can remember. It sounds like simple ingredients, but it really is tasty. I always like to eat a little while it is still warm before I refrigerate it for serving. You may need to add a little more Miracle Whip just prior to serving since the potatoes absorb as they sit. Put on the garnish just prior to serving in case it needs to have more of the Miracle Whip stirred in. My mother learned to make it like this when she was a teen working at the local five and dime. Unsure yield."

directions

  • Scrub the potatoes with a vegetable brush under cool running water. Boil the potatoes in their jackets until just fork tender. Drain.
  • When slightly cool, peel and cut into 1" chunks. Be careful to discard any hard pieces of potato.
  • While the potatoes are still warm, add the onion, green pepper and celery. Stir in the Miracle Whip. Once you have it all mixed to the moistness you like, add another heaping spoonful of Miracle Whip as it will absorb as it sits in the refrigerator. Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Gently fold in the chopped eggs.
  • Refrigerate 'til ready to serve.
  • Slice the remaining 1/3 of the green pepper into rings. Arrange the rings on top of the potato salad. Peel the remaining hard-boiled egg and slice. Place egg slices in the center of the pepper rings. Slice radishes and arrange around pepper rings. Sprinkle all with paprika.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My passions: faith, family, food, and anything family history related. Almost nothing I like more than to chase headstones of my dearly departed ancestors. I've been working on a family cookbook for almost 2 years. (Need to figure out how I want to actually print it.) Enjoy learning about how what I grew up eating relates to my ancestors from Croatia and Alsace primarily. Enjoy following and forming new traditions within the walls of my home. Some would say I lead a very boring and mundane life. I would say it's just what I ordered. I have the opportunity to be a stay-at-home mom - which is what I truly love. Feel it's the best calling anyone could ever have. I've truly been blessed!
