Mama Jesus Potato Salad

aka My Mom's Potato Salad

aka My Mom's Grandmother's Potato Salad

sorry for the blur!

There is absolutely no recipe for this.  I hate those people who outright refuse to share recipes and please hit me if I ever say "no" if you ask me for one of mine.

This salad though is so dependent on so many factors.  You are more than welcome to come watch me make it, or get the ingredients (which I'll include here) and I will make it for you.  Right now I'm just gonna relish (ha! that's a pun you'll get later) in yumminess!

Ingredients:

8 (large egg sized) Red Potatoes (cut into cubes, boiled in salted water, and chilled)
4-5 Green Onions (1-2 spring onions if you can get them)
1 Bell Pepper
1 Dill Pickle
1 Celery Stalk
4 Hard Boiled Eggs (chilled and peeled)
Yellow Mustard (about 1/8 cup)
Miracle Whip (about 1 1/2 - 2 cups) ***see note
Granulated Garlic Powder (about 1 teaspoon)
Onion Powder (about 1 teaspoon)
Paprika (1/2 teaspoon, sprinkled on top for some color)
Salt (2 teaspoons, but taste it after you put in 1 teaspoon)
Pepper (about 1 teaspoon)

That's it.  All the veggies and eggs are chopped kinda chunky except for the onions and celery which are bias cut.  Really the only variable is the amount of MW, Mustard and spices go in.  Potatoes are so strange, and absorb the ingredients depending on the type of potato, how long you cook them, how long you've chilled them, how much salt was in the water..... etc.  So... That's it!
