Instructions

    • 1

      Peel potatoes and place in a pot to boil. You want the potatoes to get semi-soft, but not so soft that you can make mashed potatoes out of them. You also don't want them to be so hard that they crunch either. Cook until medium soft.

    • 2

      Place eggs in either the same pot as the potatoes or in a separate pot (depending on how much potatoes are already in the pot). Boil the eggs hard.

    • 3

      Place potatoes and the miracle whip in large bowl and mix together. Peel eggs and cut up in the same bowl. Use 3/4 of a teaspoon of mustard.

    • 4

      Once everything is mixed add the onions (optional) and celery seeds. Cut up remaining eggs and place on top of the salad, then garnish with paparika.

Tips & Warnings

  • don't skimp on the use of eggs.

  • don't use too much or to little mayo (according to taste and texture).

  • don't use too much mustard, you don't want the taste to overcome the overall taste of your salad.
