Step 1 of 17

I never substitute Miracle Whip w/mayo. It's key to the flavor, plus the mustard & sugar. (NOTE: Photos show me making a half batch: 4-6 servings. Full recipe makes 10-12) I use "Lite" Miracle Whip.

Step 2 of 17

NOTE: years ago this was made by first peeling, cooking, slicing raw potatoes. It was not only way more time consuming, but oftentimes potatoes became mushy. Canned is WAY easier & always consistent!

Step 3 of 17

Open potatoes and drain off water.

Step 4 of 17

Some of the slices, I feel, are too big so I slice those for a more uniform, bite-size salad.

Step 5 of 17

Set aside drained potato slices and prepare sauce.

Step 6 of 17

Measure miracle whip, mustard, sugar...

Step 7 of 17

Stir to blend, adding milk to thin it slightly.

Step 8 of 17

Mix well.

Step 9 of 17

I think an egg slicer is a necessity in every kitchen!

Step 10 of 17

Slice cooled, peeled hard-boiled eggs carefully. This video stars my husband's manly finger. (Thanks sweetie)

Step 11 of 17

Keep the best looking middle slices for garnishing top. Mix the end slices in with potato slices.

Step 12 of 17

The end end slices mixed in... Nicer slices saved out.

Step 13 of 17

Pour sauce over potatoes and gently stir to coat slices.

Step 14 of 17

I usually do the mixing in a different bowl than my serving bowl simply because serving bowl sides/edges look cleaner if mixing wasn't done in it.

Step 15 of 17

Spoon mixture into serving bowl.

Step 16 of 17

These are optional, but I ALWAYS use to garnish the top. I call it the "ooh and ahh factor!" (So it's 8 ingredients if you count paprika and parsley flakes)

Step 17 of 17

The nicer your egg slices, the better it looks! I got a little carried away sprinkling paprika this time. No matter how it looks, it tastes SWEET & TANGY!
