I got this recipe from my mom and have had it on the back of a receipt for about 2 years now. Seems time to share it with the world. :)
Ingredients:
1 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
10 -12 potatoes
3 -4 hard-boiled eggs
1/2 cup green onions or 1/2 cup white onion
4 stalks celery
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
chopped green pepper, tomato, cucumber (optional)
Directions:
1. Peel potatoes and cut into 1-inch cubes. Boil for about an hour, until the fall off a fork when speared.
2. Boil eggs and chop vegetables.
3. Mix up the ingredients for the sauce: mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar and salt. You may need to make more later, depending on how many veggies and potatoes you have and how creamy you like your salad.
4. Once potatoes are done, mix everything together. My mom likes to top hers with slices of tomato.
5. The flavors will blend more after a couple hours in the fridge, but I still think it tastes the best right after mixing, when it's still warm.
