Ingredients
-
3 lbs idaho potatoes (peeled and diced)
-
1 cup sweet onion (finely diced)
-
1/2 cup celery (finely diced)
-
6 large eggs (boiled, dice only 4 eggs for the salad and slice and save 2 for the top.)

1/4 cup sugar

-
1 tablespoon pepper
-
1 -1 1/2 cup Miracle Whip (depends on how thick you like it.)

1 teaspoon paprika (for the top.)

1/4 cup diced pimento (but adds color, it's not enough to add any flavor.)

Instructions
- Boil potatoes until they are tender but firm, do not over cook or the salad will be like mashed potatoes.
- Drain potatoes immediately and let them cool completely.
- Add (to the cooled potatoes) all other ingredients.
- Toss lightly until thoroughly mixed making sure not to mash the potatoes.
- Top the salad with the sliced eggs and sprinkle with Paprika.
- We love it while it's still warm.
- Refrigerate if you like it cold for 2 hours.
- Enjoy!
