Ingredients
- 8 med red potatoes boiled in their jackets
- 3 oz sausage "garlic ring" sausage, sliced and diced
- 2 slices bacon diced, cooked until done but not too crispy, and drained well
- 2 med Chopped fresh tomatoes seeded
- 2 each Hard boiled eggs chopped
- 1 each dill pickle drained and minced
- 2 tbsp minced onion
- 2 tbsp minced fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives or minced scallion tops
- 1 dash salt to taste
- 1 dash Black pepper freshly ground, to taste
- 2/3 cup mayonnaise plus more if needed
- 1/3 cup miracle whip plus more if needed
Instructions
- Boil and dice potatoes. cook bacon and dice. saute sausage. In a large bowl, mix everything together except the mayonnaise and Miracle Whip. Then--yes!--add the mayonnaise and Miracle Whip. Taste for seasonings. If you want the salad moister, add more mayo and Miracle Whip, keeping the same 2:1 proportions. (I use 1/3 cup water instead.) If you want the salad less moist, I don't know what to tell you.
- Chill the salad for several hours (or up to 3 days), but bring it back to room temperature before you serve it. "Believe me, it tastes better," says Kurt.
