Mom's Better Potato Salad
- 10 medium red potatoes (8 cups)
- 4 stalks celery, diced
- 1 12 cups green peppers, diced
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 6 hard-boiled eggs, diced
- 1 12 cups Miracle Whip (or Mayonnaise)
- 14 cup milk
- 6 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled (put grease to side for later use)
- Scrub potatoes under running water with a brush.
- Leave skins on potatoes.
- Boil approximately 20 minutes until potatoes are fork tender.
- Peel while still slightly warm and dice (1 inch pieces or your size preference) into large bowl.
- Add celery, green pepper, onion, hard boiled eggs, and bacon to the potatoes.
- Gently mix together.
- In separate bowl, combine Miracle Whip, vinegar and cup milk.
- Stir mixture until well mixed and smooth.
- Add additional milk if needed to make mixture smooth and creamy, but not too thin.
- Do a little taste before combining with potatoes to see if you may want to add more vinegar for taste.
- Pour over potato mixture and gently mix/fold so that potatoes are all coated.
- *Adding about 2 Tbsp of bacon grease helps flavor slightly but if you are worried about too much fat, don't use the grease.
- Always put bacon grease in last and stir/fold in well.
- If it appears that the potato mixture isn't "creamy" enough, mix approximately 1/4 to 1/2 cup additional Miracle Whip and 2 Tbsp vinegar (taste and adjust) and add to the potato mix.
- Cover bowl and refrigerate.
