Categories     Potato

Time 40m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 lbs potatoes, peeled & cut into small chunks
6 hard-boiled eggs, cooled & peeled
1/2 cup dill pickle (optional)
1 1/2 cups Miracle Whip (sometimes I use a mixture of both) or 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise (sometimes I use a mixture of both)
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
1/4 cup pickle juice (dill not sweet)
1/4 cup half-and-half or 1/4 cup whipping cream
1/2-1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes until just tender when poked with a fork, remove and drain.
  • Place the potatoes into a large bowl & let cool to room temperature. (I like to mash about half of the potatoes then add them back in with the chunks).
  • Cut the eggs in half then remove the yolks. Place the yolks into a small bowl used for mixing.
  • Add the egg whites & pickles (if using) to a food processor then chop until finely diced. Stir into the potatoes.
  • Gently mash the yolks with a fork then mix in the mayonnaise, mustard, pickle juice, cream, sugar & spices.
  • Whisk until creamy then pour over potato mixture. Gently stir until the potatoes are coated with the mayo mixture.
  • Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, so I usually use Greek yogurt in this recipe instead. It's still creamy and delicious, but a bit healthier.
