NON-TRADITIONAL POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Wash, peel and boil potatoes in salted water (about 1 tablespoon or less) until very tender. Place grated cheese in a big bowl. Add potatoes and toss. Let cool.
• Microwave the bacon until tender. Drain grease into a bowl and reserve. Crumble the bacon.
• Saute the onions in bacon grease until tender. Save the bacon grease.
• In a food processor process cream cheese, mayo, mustard, milk and bacon drippings.
• In the large bowl containing the potato/cheese mixture, combine the eggs, onion and bacon. Add the mayo mixture to potato mixture and toss.
• Cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or overnight before serving.

REALLY GOOD, SIMPLE, FRESH POTATO SALAD- NO MUSTARD- NO RELISH

Steps:

• Peel and dice potatoes, Boil in salted water until tender.
• Hard boil eggs, peel, chop. (obviously lol).
• Finely chop onion.
• *1-2 ribs of finely diced celery is nice, but was not in the original recipe.
• A dash of garlic powder or garlic salt is nice too.
• Judge the amount of Mayo to your taste and # of potatoes, but do add it until it is nice and creamy.
• Mix all ingredients together when warm, serve fresh with-out chilling, if you can, it is good chilled too, but particularly creamy when warm-to room temperature.
• It is also best to use the hardboiled eggs right after cooking, it's ok if they are slightly cooled from peeling, but best in this, if they are freshly cooked.
• Most of the prep time is attributed to the peeling and chopping of the potatoes.
• *Of course, because of the Mayo you won't want to leave it out too long.
• I have also heard (unknown it it's true, but I never take the chance) not to serve anything that has Mayo in it, with Sterling Silver servers.

WHITE POTATO SALAD (NO MUSTARD)

Steps:

• Boil Whole potatoes until a fork will easily slide in and back out with no resistance at all.
• Lay out on counter for an hour or so to cool nicely.
• Peel, and cube.
• I usually do this with no recipe, so I have estimated the amounts as closely as possible.
• While potatoes are cooking, mix together, the Miracle Whip, Vinegar, Sugar, and Salt, and refrigerate.
• In a large bowl, mix together, the onion, celery, eggs, sweet pickles, and potatoes.
• Add miracle whip mixture a little at a time, until it seems the right consistency for potato salad.
• You may have some mix left over, but don't throw it out.
• After refrigerating a while, the potatoes will absorb a lot of the mixture, and you may need to add more.
• Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
• It may taste salty until after it's refrigerated a while.
• If you like more salt, or sour (vinegar), you may adjust recipe accordingly.
• Just add a little at a time to the finished product, of vinegar, or salt, and mix, until it tastes right to you.
• The same applies if you like it sweeter.
