5 lbs. potatoes, diced, cooked & drained
10 eggs, hard cooked & grated
1 c. celery, diced
1 c. carrots, diced
1 c. onions, diced
1 c. green pepper, diced (optional)
1 c. bacon, crumbled (optional)
1 c. Cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)

(I usually use only first 5 ingredients.)

DRESSING:

2 c. Miracle Whip
1/3 c. prepared mustard
1 c. sweet pickle relish (I add 2 to 3 tbsp. pickle juice also)
3/4 c. sugar
2 to 4 tbsp. vinegar
1 tbsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper

(This dressing may be made ahead and stored in refrigerator for weeks.)

Add dressing to warm potatoes, eggs and diced vegetables. Mix gently, but thoroughly. Cool, then refrigerate. Let flavors mingle several hours.

When ready to serve, stir gently, put into a pretty glass bowl and garnish with egg slices, pepper rings or paprika. Yields 3 to 4 quarts.
