Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 pounds boiled red potatoes, with the skins on
  • 1 cup celery, cut very small
  • 2 bunches green onions, cut up to the green, cut very small
  • 1 cup miracle whip, divided
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • - half and half
  • - salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 - hard boiled eggs, sliced

How To Make creamy potato salad

  • Remove the skins from the potatoes.
    Step 1
    When boiled potatoes are cool enough to handle, remove the skins.
  • Cut up the potatoes,  and mix in 1/2 cup of Miracle Whip.
    Step 2
    Cut the potatoes into nice bite-sized pieces. Now coat the potatoes with 1/2 cup of Miracle Whip.
  • Step 3
    Mix in the chopped celery and green onion. Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Step 4
    In a separate bowl, mix the other 1/2 cup of Miracle Whip, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and enough half and half to thin down slightly (probably about 1/8 cup of half and half).
  • Step 5
    Pour on top of potatoes and mix well. Place potato salad in a serving bowl, and top with sliced hard-boiled eggs. *** After making this recipe for so many years now, I chop up the hard-boiled eggs and mix them into the potato salad. I add 2 or 3 eggs to the mix.
  • Step 6
    Chill until serving. Enjoy!
  • Step 7
    This is my absolute favorite potato salad. Thank you to my mother-in-law!
