I Hate Miracle Whip But I Love This Potato Salad Thats Food

CLASSIC CREAMY POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Do ahead: Place 3 eggs in a small saucepan and cover with cold water, covering by at least 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once the water is fully boiling, boil eggs for 7 minutes. Remove eggs to a bowl of cold water and refrigerate at least 30 minutes (or longer) until needed. To use later, peel and chop.
• Peel potatoes and cut into equal-sized chunks, just slightly larger than you want the chunks to be in your finished salad. Place in a large pot. Cover with cold water, covering potatoes by 3-4 inches. Add some salt to the water. On the stove-top, bring to a boil over high heat. Continue boiling potatoes, checking often, until potatoes are tender. *Check potatoes by piercing with a sharp knife. They are done when the knife passes through the potato with no resistance.
• Drain potatoes well and place in a large bowl. Drizzle with 1 Tbsp white vinegar. Allow to cool about 30 minutes, at room temperature.
• Meanwhile, chop the Additions ingredients and prepare the dressing by whisking together all the dressing ingredients until well combined.
• When potatoes have cooled, add the chopped celery, onion and hard-boiled eggs to the bowl. Pour the dressing over top. Toss to combine and coat the potatoes. Garnish the top with a bit of paprika. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly cooled before serving, about 3-4 hours, at least. Garnish with fresh parsley to serve, if desired.
• Potato salad will keep well, covered, in the fridge for up to 5 days.

MY GRANDMA'S BEST POTATO SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Add the potatoes to a large pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a lightly rolling boil over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Cook for 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork or paring knife. Drain and set aside until cool enough to handle.
• Peel the skins from the potatoes and cut into 1/2" to 3/4" square pieces. Transfer the warm potatoes to a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with the white vinegar. Toss the potatoes with the vinegar and set the potatoes aside to cool, about 15-20 minutes.
• Add the celery and the green onions to the potato mixture. Chop 4 of the hard boiled eggs and add to the potato mixture.
• In a medium bowl, mix the Miracle Whip or mayonnaise, yellow mustard, celery seed and salt and pepper. Fold into the potato mixture and season with more salt and pepper to taste. Slice the last egg into thin slices and place the slices on top of the salad. Sprinkle with paprika if desired. Chill for at least 1 hour or overnight before serving.

MIRACLE WHIP FROM MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Measure vinegar into small non-reactive saucepan. (e.g. Stainless steel or teflon coated).
• Add cornstarch and let soften for a minute or so. Stir with non-metal spoon or whisk to remove any lumps.
• Add sugar, paprika, garlic and mustard powders.
• Heat on medium high, stirring constantly, until mixture reaches a full rolling boil.
• Remove from heat, stirring well. The mixture will be the consistency of thin pudding. It will thicken as it cools.
• Add to mayonnaise and stir well to combine. Chill for use in a cold salad or use as is in a recipe.
• NOTE: To make smaller amounts of Miracle Whip, mix at the ratio 1/2 tsp of additive to 1 tbsp of mayonnaise. Store unused portion of additive tightly covered in the fridge.
• If storing additive, discard any film that develops on top as this will never mix properly into the mayonnaise.
• Replace sugar with Splenda and/or use Lite Mayonnaise for a diet or diabetic version.

THE MOST TENDER MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Turn oven on and set at 350 degrees.
• Mix the first 7 ingredients together thoroughly. Using your hands is the best way to get it done. Form meat into a loaf shape and place in a baking dish.
• Place the meatloaf in the oven bake for 60 minutes.
• While meatloaf is in the oven, mix the final 3 ingredients together.
• After the 60 minutes, remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the ketchup topping over the loaf.
• Place back in the oven for 15 minutes.
• Note: Make sure meat is cooked. You don't want to eat rare pork. Also, the meatloaf serves up easiest if you let it rest a few minutes before slicing.

JUST TOO EASY TARTAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Stir all ingredients together.
