Miss Jean's Potato Salad
"This recipe comes from my best friend, Lisa's mother. Miss Jean has served this potato salad recipe at EVERY summer gathering that I attended at their home for as long as I can remember. The flavors are so basic and simple, which is why I think I enjoy it so much. Very easy to prepare as well. Please be sure to use Miracle Whip and NOT mayonnaise, the flavor just won't be the same."

This is probably the simplest potato salad I've ever put together, even after cutting the recipe in half! Absolutely loved the use of a sweet onion here! Another time, though, I'd like to make a small change ~ Use new potatoes & leaving the skins on! We do love those peels! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
