This potato salad was delicious. A lot of time potato salads are bland, but the Miracle Whip, vinegar, and sugar gave this one some kick. The onions and salt also help the flavor. (Mom's is still the best! I've never had any as flavorful as hers.)
I halved the recipe so we wouldn't be eating potato salad for the next month. This would be a great potluck dish!
INGREDIENTS:
6 pounds medium red potatoes
Water
DRESSING:
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter, cubed
1/4 cup white vinegar
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
4-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
3/4 cup Miracle Whip
SALAD:
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 green onions, sliced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3 hard-cooked eggs, sliced
Paprika
Directions
Place potatoes in a stockpot and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain. When cool enough to handle, peel and slice potatoes; cool completely.
For dressing, in the top of a double boiler or metal bowl over barely simmering water, heat water, butter and vinegar until butter is melted. In a small bowl, beat eggs; add sugar and cornstarch. Add to butter mixture; cook and stir for 5-7 minutes or until thickened. Transfer to a large bowl; cool completely.
In a small bowl, beat cream until stiff peaks form. Stir Miracle Whip into cooled dressing mixture; fold in whipped cream. Stir in onion, green onions, salt and pepper. Add potatoes; toss lightly to combine. Refrigerate, covered, until chilled.
To serve, top with hard-cooked eggs; sprinkle with paprika. Yield: 24 servings (3/4 cup each).
