Grandma Dowell’s Potato Salad 

(makes enough for a crowd)

Ingredients:

5# potatoes cooked and diced

1 medium bunch celery

1# onions chopped

1 doz. eggs hard cooked and chopped

1 small bottle french dressing

Dressing:

1 qt. miracle whip      

1/2 pt. sour cream

3/4 c. milk      

scant 1/2 c. sugar

1/4 c. vinegar         

salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Boil potatoes with "jackets" on. Let cool and then remove skins and dice into nice size pieces.

Marinate potatoes in French dressing for several hours or overnight, using enough dressing to lightly coat potatoes (probably not the whole bottle)

Add remaining ingredients and the eggs last. Mix VERY CAREFULLY OR TOSS GENTLY with the dressing recipe.
