This Potato Salad is so delicious and creamy! It compliments BBQ’s and picnics as a side dish perfectly!
The Best Potato Salad Recipe
I grew up eating Miracle Whip and I did not like it – at all. Now my parents think it’s funny when my son likes their version of things better than mine, knowing they used Miracle Whip not Mayonnaise!
My Grandma’s Classic Potato Salad is hands down the best potato salad you will EVER have! And her secret? Miracle Whip. Sigh. The good news is it’s interchangeable, you can use whatever you prefer! It doesn’t matter if you are team Miracle Whip or team mayonnaise – you will love this recipe! I especially like it because it doesn’t taste or smell eggy!
This classic side dish compliments a BBQ Veggie Burger perfectly! Not sure you want to commit yet? You could always make Pesto Tortellini Pasta Salad or Baked Beans for your side instead!
