On to the recipe......

I am pretty picky about my potato salads. I like them simple, creamy, and good. I grew up eating this particular potato salad... so, I may be a little biased. It's my other grandma's recipe. Mimi had some great recipes that have been passed down in the family.

You can't beat the simplicity of this recipe. Of course you could add other ingredients, if you'd like... nothin' wrong with that... personalize it to your taste. That's the fun of cooking, right?

Right.

So, the next time you are hosting or going to a BBQ, whip up THIS potato salad.

Do. It.


Mimi's Potato Salad

• 8 whole Red Potatoes
• 8 whole Eggs
• 1/2 whole Onion, Chopped
• 1 1/2 cup Whole Milk or Half and Half
• 1 container (15 Oz. Jar) Miracle Whip
• 1 teaspoon Mustard or To Taste
• 1 pinch Salt and Pepper, or To Taste

Place potatoes in a large pot covered in cold water and boil them. It takes about 20-45 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes. Check with a fork to determine doneness - they should be soft to throughout when done. When done, remove from the heat and drain the water and allow to cool. Once cooled completely, peel and cube them.

While the potatoes boil, place the eggs in a medium to large pot, cover with cold water and add a little salt. Put them over heat and when the eggs come to a rolling boil, remove from the heat and let them sit covered for 13-15 minutes. Peel and chop once cooled. I run the eggs under cold water and peel them.

Place the potatoes, hard boiled eggs and chopped onion aside in a large bowl. 

Next, in a medium bowl, whisk the milk or half and half into the Miracle Whip. Whisk in the mustard and salt and pepper. Taste and make adjustments as needed. Pour over the potato mixture and coat.

*Notes: 

The salt in the water helps the eggs from cracking while boiling. 

When peeling them, hit the egg dead center on the narrow end and they seem to peel easier. 

Enjoy!
