Yum I can't wait for summer picnic season

This recipe is one of my husband, and my favorite summer foods. I have been making it for years and family members and friends really enjoy it. It takes a little while to prepare, but it is always worth the time. I would not go on a picnic without it.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Main ingredients: 6-8 medium sized potatoes, 4 hard boiled eggs, 1 cup Miracle whip salad dressing (I use the light), 3-4 TBSP milk (if you want to call it a main ingredient) use to thin the miracle w
Optional items: 1 small finely chopped onion (a must in my potato salad), 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp ground black pepper, 1 stalk finely chopped celery, 1 TBSP Yellow mustard (I do add this to mine)

Step 1

Wash, peel, and cut up potatoes into quarters. (I usually peel the potatoes after they are cooked). Put in a pan with enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and cook until fairly soft. This usually takes about 10 minutes. If you can insert a sharp knife into the potato, they are done. Drain immediately, and let cool completely.
Step 2

In another pan, put in your eggs. Cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 15 minutes. Drain water, and cover with cold water to cool down.
Step 3

In a large bowl combine the miracle whip, and the milk. Mix with a wire whisk until it is the consistency of a thick salad dressing. (You may need a little more milk) I don’t like it too thin, as it seems to get thinner as it sits in the refrigerator. If you choose to add onion and celery, add it at this time. I also add my salt and pepper to the dressing mix.
Step 4

Next , in a separate bowl, cut up the potatoes in to about one half inch squares. If you are a potato lover, you may want bigger potato chunks. I would not recommend them being more than three quarter inch squares. Now peel your hard boiled eggs, and cut up into small pieces. I like to save one to slice nicely, and lay on the top of my potato salad. Fold these 2 ingredients together with a large spoon. When they are mixed together, fold them into the dressing mixture. Now put into a nice serving bowl, and lay your hard boiled egg slices on top. Chill for at least an hour to blend the flavors. Now serve and enjoy!
