Ingredients

  • 5 pounds russet potatoes (cleaned and peeled
  • 2 cups miracle whip
  • cup sweet relish
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 hard-boiled eggs (peeled and chopped)
  • ½ cup celery (diced)
  • cup green onions (diced)
  • cup yellow onion (diced)

Instructions

  • Add potatoes to a pot and cover with 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 25-30 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Drain and let cool. When the potatoes are cool, cut them into bite-size cubes.
  • Add miracle whip, relish, mustard, salt, and black pepper to a large bowl. Mix until well combined.
  • Place the remaining ingredients in the bowl. Gently fold them into the sauce.
  • Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours before serving.

Notes

  • Cut potatoes into even-sized chunks so they cook at the same rate.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely before mixing with the dressing to keep it creamy, not runny.
  • Don’t overcook the potatoes; tender but firm is key for the best texture.
  • It’s best to chill the potato salad for several hours to allow the flavors to fully blend before serving.
