Use red potatoes, don't over cook them. Mom also liked lots of boiled eggs. So I am guessing about 6 med potatoes to about 5 boiled eggs. Now this is were it gets hard. Make your sauce. I would start with at least 1 cup of salad dressing (not mayo). Thin it down with some milk and sweet pickle juice. Add some salt and pepper and a couple good shakes of dry mustard. Slice up some green onions about 4 or 5, and some of the sweet pickles. The trick is to chop everything small. Now start adding your potatoes once you have them all chopped up stir them in. Taste it now to see if you need more salt and pepper. Once you think you've got that right add the eggs. Make sure you don't get to many potatoes you want it to be pretty moist because as it sits it will absorb the moisture. -LaNae Beckstead
She would boil her potatoes, 6 to 8, with salt in water and let them cool. Start with salad dressing (2 cups) She liked Miracle Whip brand. She'd add sweet pickle juice (couple tablespoons) and milk (couple 3 or 4 Tbls maybe more to salad dressing to thin it like a runny pudding. She was particular and liked her potatoes cubed small. She liked lots of celery and green onions diced small. Sometimes in the summer when she had lots of cucumbers she'd add a diced one. Of course cubed boiled eggs maybe 6 to 8. Salt and pepper to taste. I might add if you have time baked potatoes give a better flavor. -Kathy Hibbard
