Mum's Potato & Egg Salad image

What can I say? It is delicious and one of my fave things to make in the summer months. My husband won't eat it with egg, so I just separate a couple of servings before I add egg to it. Depending on how much you want to make, you can decide on how many potatoes and eggs you use. I figure one potato per serving. This is the...

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 large white potatoes
4 or 5 large eggs
3 or 4 green onions, tops only
salt & pepper, to taste
DRESSING
1/2 c miracle whip
1/2 tsp yellow mustard (optional)
milk
1 - 2 tsp sugar (optional) (or 1 tsp splenda)

Steps:

  • 1. Peel, cut and boil potatoes. Don't boil them too long. You don't want them to get soft. Drain, put in a bowl or container, cover and cool in fridge for a couple of hours.
  • 2. Hard boil eggs. Set aside and let cool. You can also cover them and cool them in the fridge.
  • 3. When you are ready to prepare your salad, remove potatoes and eggs from fridge. In a large bowl, cut potatoes into smaller pieces.
  • 4. Next, peel eggs and chop them up into the potato.
  • 5. Chop onion greens and add to bowl.
  • 6. Shake salt and pepper on salad, "to taste". Mix gently.
  • 7. Dressing: Put Miracle Whip in a cup or jar. Add mustard, sugar and milk (1 tsp at a time) until it is a desirable, smooth consistency. Pour dressing on contents of bowl a little at a time. Gently mix through until it lightly coats the potato & egg and is a balance you like. As much or as little as you like will make it perfect for you. I don't like it runny.
  • 8. cover with cling wrap and place in fridge to chill before serving. I think it tastes better after sitting for a few hours. Remove from fridge, stir it around and serve.
