Directions: |
Directions:1. In large stock pot on stove, boil whole potatoes until soft but not mushy when fork is inserted. Once done, about 40 minutes, drain and allow to cool so they can be easily handled. Peel potatoes and dice in 1" size chunks. Place potatoes in large mixing (and serving) bowl.
2. While potatoes are boiling, place room temp eggs in cold water and set on stove. Allow to come to rolling boil and then turn down to simmer. Allow to simmer about 12 minutes so the eggs yolks is completely hard. (eggs can also be done in Instant Pot if preferred). Drain eggs carefully and place in ice water to cool to cold stage, this will help in peeling. Carefully peel eggs removing all shell and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
3. Once potatoes are diced and in large bowl, dice eggs leaving a couple to slice on top of salad.
4. Add diced green onions and pickles, salt and pepper and about 1 tablespoon of paprika or Salad Supreme. Mix well so all eggs, onions and pickles are evenly distributed. (I use a large silicone or plastic spoon to mix so the potatoes and eggs aren't cut anymore. I like large chunks of both potatoes and eggs.)
5. Prepare dressing and mix well. Pour over potatoes and mix well again. (Taste dressing to make sure is has some tang to it. If not, add more mustard. If too tangy, add more Miracle Whip and/or sugar.)
6. Garnish with remaining sliced eggs on top of salad and sprinkle with more paprika or Salad Supreme. Refrigerate until ready to use. The longer it's refrigerated the better it tastes because the flavors are well distributed. |

Tip: Make extra dressing if Ami is there because she will steal the potatoes and dip them in the dressing as it is being made!
