MOM'S OLD FASHIONED POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Fill a 5 quart pan with potatoes, cover with water and boil until potatoes are done. The type of potato you use depends on how you like your potato salad - we like the potatoes to be very well done and cut up fairly small. I usually use russet potatoes. If you use red potatoes, you will get firmer, more indiviualized pieces of potatoes in your salad.
• After potatoes are cooked, let them cool. Peel and cut up in bite-sized cubes.
• Make at least 6 hard-boiled eggs. Let them cool and cut them up.
• Dice up onions and celery.
• Dressing: Whisk together Miracle Whip, milk, salt, pepper, sugar, vinegar, mustard and relish.
• , Mix all ingredients together and fold in dressing.
