Potato Salad

Ingredients: 5-6 potatoes same # of eggs as potatoes small white onion Miracle Whip yellow mustard sugar Wash and peel potatoes. Cut into pieces. Attempt to keep them around the same size for even cooking. Add to a pot of water and bring to a boil. Check for doneness by stabbing with a fork. And if all else fails taste a piece! Chop onion and set aside. "Sauce". In a separate bowl place six heaping spoonfuls of Miracle Whip or about 3/4 cup. Add mustard - I just squirt about the size of a 50 cent piece into the bowl. Also add 2 Tbsp. sugar. Mix well. Once it's mixed it should be about the same color as a stick of margarine. Once potatoes are done to your liking, cut into bite size pieces and add to large bowl (not same as sauce). Add chopped onion. Remove water from potato pot and add warm water - not hot. Add eggs, bring to a boil with cover on. If you forget to add the eggs before the boil they may pop - still usable just a bad sound! You may also want to make one or two more eggs just in case on of the whites splits and to test to make sure the yolk is hard. Once the water has started to boil remove pot from heat. Leave cover on for 15 minuets. After 15 minuets rinse eggs under cold water so that you do not get a gray/green exterior of the yolk. Peel each egg and slice in 1/2 the long way of the egg. I used my egg slicer plus to slice the halved eggs. After I've sliced the eggs then I cut them again the long way down the center for smaller pieces. Add sliced eggs to potato and onion bowl. Add sauce and stir gently. Yum!
