Mom's Old Fashioned Potato Salad image

This is the way my mom made potato salad. She would put all the dressing ingredients in a mason jar and make one of the kids shake it to mix everything. It's the best - imho.

Time 1h10m

Yield 3 qts, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 lbs potatoes
2 cups Miracle Whip
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 tablespoons relish
1 cup onion
1 cup celery
6 hard-boiled eggs

Steps:

  • Fill a 5 quart pan with potatoes, cover with water and boil until potatoes are done. The type of potato you use depends on how you like your potato salad - we like the potatoes to be very well done and cut up fairly small. I usually use russet potatoes. If you use red potatoes, you will get firmer, more indiviualized pieces of potatoes in your salad.
  • After potatoes are cooked, let them cool. Peel and cut up in bite-sized cubes.
  • Make at least 6 hard-boiled eggs. Let them cool and cut them up.
  • Dice up onions and celery.
  • Dressing: Whisk together Miracle Whip, milk, salt, pepper, sugar, vinegar, mustard and relish.
  • , Mix all ingredients together and fold in dressing.
