8-10
ingredients
- 3 lbs medium boiling potatoes
- 1 large sweet onion, diced
- 1 cup Miracle Whip

directions
- In a large pot, cover potatoes with generously salted, cold water by about 1-inch.
- Simmer, covered, until just tender, about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on size of potatoes.
- In a colander drain potatoes and cool to warm.
- With a sharp knife peel warm potatoes and cut into ¾" cubes.

- Can add more Miracle Whip if salad looks dry.
- This potato salad tastes best if its allowed to refrigerate for at least four hours, or even overnight if possible.

This is probably the simplest potato salad I've ever put together, even after cutting the recipe in half! Absolutely loved the use of a sweet onion here! Another time, though, I'd like to make a small change ~ Use new potatoes & leaving the skins on! We do love those peels! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
