Ingredients

Freshly cooked potatoes

Italian salad dressing (or whatever dressing you like, even just oil and vinegar)

chopped onions, small dice

hard-boiled eggs, cut into medium size chunks

Best Foods mayonnaise (Mom used Miracle Whip but I prefer Best Foods)

1/4 t. dry mustard

2 t. sugar

salt & pepper

vinegar

NOTE: amounts are up to you

Directions

Peel potatoes while warm & break into pieces with a fork

sprinkle with salad dressing

mix in onions and eggs

in a small bowl mix together the mayo with everything else

add ingredients to taste, not too sweet nor too sour

Gently mix into potato mixture

optional add-ons: dill pickles and/or their juice; garlic, parsley, cilantro, olives, chunks of cheddar cheese; actually: whatever you love

flavors blend nicely so salad is maybe even better the next day

NOTE: the secrets are (1) rough cut of the potatoes; this allows more of the dressing flavor to soak in; (2) adding the salad dressing to the warm potatoes. This makes the whole salad way more flavorful. In fact, no matter what recipe you use for a potato salad, just make sure to use these 2 tips and it'll be even better.

I have never tried salad dressing in potato salad so I am doing this one for my Sunday dinner. I never measure anything when I cook something that I have been doing for years so the amounts is no problem for me.Sounds delicious
