Yummy Potato Salad

I don't know about you but I love making an easy potluck dish that doesn't require too much thought or too many ingredients. This recipe is just that. Easy, most of the ingredients I usually keep on hand and it ends up being yummy. This recipe is a small batch, double your ingredients and you'll have much more.


Here's what you need:

1 cup quartered red potatoes, skins on
1/4 cup diced red onion
3/4 cup miracle whip-you can go mayo if you're that person
2 hard boiled eggs chopped, yellows separated from whites
3 tablespoons yellow mustard
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
1/4 milk

What to do:

1.)Boil the quartered potatoes with a sprinkle of salt. The potatos should remain firm. We're not making mashed potatoes here. Let cool in a medium bowl.

2.)Meanwhile, using a fork mash your hard boiled yellows in a small dish and add the mustard. Add to this mixture the miracle whip, onions and Old Bay Seasoning creating your "yellow mixture".

3.) Fold your yellow mixture into the cooled potatoes and combined until most the potatoes are covered. Add milk to this and combine, this should thin out your yellow mixture and add creaminess to the potato salad.

4.) Let chill 30 to 40 minutes and it's even better if you choose to make it the night before a gathering.

I'd never used Old Bay before but found it while grocery shopping last week. I bought a goodsized shaker of it for 1.99 which is a bargain in the spice world. As far as I can tell it has a little of everything in it including paprika. It also hawks it self that it can be used in everything from seafood to popcorn. I don't know that I'd go that far however.

Variations to this recipe may include adding some celery, again utilizing mayo instead of miracle whip and doubling or tripling the recipe. Enjoy this *Sara Original!
