Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 lb red potatoes
2 medium onions, chopped
2 c celery diced
1/2 c bread and butter pickles, diced
2 c miracle whip
1/2 c bread and butter pickle juice strained
2 tsp sugar
6 hard boiled eggs
1 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled

Steps:

1. Peel and cut potatoes into bite sized pieces, Cover with cold water and boil till potatoes are tender 20-30 minutes. Drain and return to pot. Turn heat back on for a few minutes to get rid of any excess water. Transfer potatoes to a large bowl to cool
2. Chop onions, celery, eggs and pickles into small pieces. When the potatoes have cooled add the veggies and bacon bits to the potatoes. Toss to evenly distribute. If you want more of any ingredient you can add them to your salad.
3. In a separate bowl add 2 cups of Miracle Whip, sugar and some of the pickle juice. With a whisk blend the dressing adding more pickle juice until you get a nice consistency to pour over the potatoes. Be sure you strain the pickle juice before you add it to the dressing.
4. Note: You can use Hormel Real Bacon bits instead of cooking the bacon. I usually add some to the top of my salad.
