My ex MIL passed away many many years ago, I still use this recipe to this day. She had such a lovely soul I still miss her.
I use my ex MIL's recipe for potato salad. The main ingredients are as little or as much as you need for just the family or a huge crowd.
Red potatoes
boiled eggs whites chopped up and yolks added to dressing
tomato diced
sliced olives
green onions sliced thin
sweet pickles chopped
Miracle whip
mustard yellow or dijon
garlic powder
creole seasoning
pepper
kosher salt
onion powder
The dressing has no fixed measurements it's all to taste.
