Mammaw'S Southern Style Potato Salad
- 3 lbs idaho potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 1 cup sweet onion (finely diced)
- 1/2 cup celery (finely diced)
- 6 large eggs (boiled, dice only 4 eggs for the salad and slice and save 2 for the top.)
- 1/4 cup diced pimento (but adds color, it's not enough to add any flavor.) (optional)
- 1 cup sweet gherkins (diced) or 1 cup relish (diced)
- 1/4 cup yellow mustard (just for color, adds no flavor.)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon pepper
- 1 - 1 1/2 cup Miracle Whip (depends on how thick you like it.)
- 1 teaspoon paprika (for the top.)
- Boil potatoes until they are tender but firm, do not over cook or the salad will be like mashed potatoes.
- Drain potatoes immediately and let them cool completely.
- Add (to the cooled potatoes) all other ingredients.
- Toss lightly until thoroughly mixed making sure not to mash the potatoes.
- Top the salad with the sliced eggs and sprinkle with Paprika.
- We love it while it's still warm.
- Refrigerate if you like it cold for 2 hours.
- Enjoy!
