Mom's Famous Potato Salad



6 medium potatoes, boiled and cut into bite-sized chunks
2 or 3 hard boiled eggs, shredded or diced
chopped onion (to taste)
dill pickle, diced (to taste)
salt & pepper (to taste)

Sauce:
1 1/2 cups Miracle Whip Salad Dressing
2 Tblsp sugar
1 Tblsp vinegar
3/4 cup milk (adjust as needed for desired thickness of sauce)

Gently mix the sauce with the salad ingredients. Garnish with paprika and sliced boiled eggs.

A few years ago I got frustrated trying to duplicate mom's potato salad. She didn't have the recipe written down - she would just taste the sauce and adjust as needed. That didn't work for me, so I asked her to pay attention to the quantities the next time she made it and write it down for me. I've been enjoying it ever since!
