Happy Memorial Day

Celebrations & remembrances most always include good food!!  Here is a great potato for your next get-together!

This recipe came to me from a former pastor's wife. She confessed she did not make this often because she could not stop eating it. 
I admit I was not too impressed with the dressing until I added the Miracle Whip. It suddenly changed from yuck to yum! 

This recipe makes a LARGE amount.

PENNSYLVANIA POTATO SALAD

5 lbs. red potatoes                 1/2 c. onions, chopped
6 eggs, hard boiled                1/2 lb. bacon, fried crisp and                                                        crumbled
In large pan, cover potatoes in salted water and cook until fork tender. Drain and cool completely. 

Place eggs in saucepan and cover with cool water. Bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes. Cover pan and turn off heat. Leave eggs for 45 minutes, then rinse with cool water and cool completely before peeling.

Peel potatoes, if desired and cut into hunks. Cut up eggs. Combine dressing with above ingredients and chill until serving time. Yield: 20+ servings.
