Potato Salad
There is nothing like comfort food at a picnic. Potato Salad is always a staple at our picnics along with macaroni salad, deviled eggs, baked beans and of course hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill. I have been making my potato salad this way since I began cooking many years ago…we won’t say how long! This was the same potato salad my Mom made, and still makes, when I was a child. Sorry Mom I am giving out your secret recipe. Some people like to add mustard, relish or more to their potato salad for added taste. What you add is your own personal preference and there are no wrong ingredients.
Start by adding your cooked potatoes, diced onion, chopped hard boiled eggs and chopped celery in a large bowl.
Add Miracle Whip, salt and pepper to your taste and mix well.
Top with sliced hard boiled eggs, garnish with paprika, cover and let sit overnight.
