Grandmas Potato Salad

Contributed By: Parker

Ingredients:

6 pounds medium red potatoes
DRESSING:
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter, cubed
1/4 cup white vinegar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
4-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
3/4 cup Miracle Whip
SALAD:
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 green onions, sliced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3 hard-boiled large eggs, sliced
Paprika

Method:

1. Place potatoes in a stockpot and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain. When cool enough to handle, peel and slice potatoes; cool completely.
2. For the dressing, in the top of a double boiler or metal bowl over barely simmering water, heat 1 cup water, butter and vinegar until butter is melted. In a small bowl, beat eggs; add sugar and cornstarch. Add to butter mixture; cook and stir until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; cool completely.
3. In a small bowl, beat cream until stiff peaks form. Stir Miracle Whip into cooled dressing mixture; fold in whipped cream. Stir in onion, green onions, salt and pepper. Add potatoes; toss lightly to combine. Refrigerate, covered, until chilled.
4. To serve, top with hard-boiled eggs; sprinkle with paprika.
