I think three of the 32 oz. jars of Miracle Whip would probably be fine (and you probably wouldn't use all of the third jar). But it's so hard to say -- that's something you just have to judge as you're making it.

i would NEVER use miracle whip...makes lousy potato salad... only use best foods (hellman's) and i use about 32 ounces for 5 lbs of potatos... so i'd say 4 jars... use 3 and keep the other in case its needed.

I'm with Landi on this. Miracle Whip?? UGH! But, it is a personal choice thing. :-)

I don't use a lot of mayo in my potato salad, but then I make a rather unconventional version. I use Russian dressing and just a small amount of Mayo (Best Foods/Hellman's). It makes salad that's sort of pink and has a tangy/sweet flavor.

DeeSandy, I would HOPE that three jars of mayo would be PLENTY, but it depends on whether you like a salad that's really creamy or one that uses a small amount of mayo as a binder between all the goodies in the salad. Hope you've got a BIG bowl and a VERY STRONG arm to stir all that stuff!!! :-)

Well, I know that miracle whip is not on the Atkins Diet and I personally like mayo. I guess it will be in the shade and covered so I won't worry about that part.

I believe that I will have to mix it in small amounts and add it all to one or two bowls. So far I only have the potatoes and eggs cooked, eggs are peeled!

Dipo, we are having a party and the guest list got out of control...123 people. I am going to be so tired of being in the kitchen after this that I may never cook again! At lease the main course is a pick up from a deli!

Does anyone have a good recipe for hot lemonade? (I know it is not a baking question but I just assumed all you great bakers could help me!:-):-))

I get a headache from caffeine and don't like decaf coffee. Herbal tea stains my teeth. I like hot water but I am tired of it..so I figured maybe hot lemonade would be a good treat.

I love the ones you buy for colds but they have medicine in them. I don't want the medicine.

Any clues?

Bama posted this over in one of the Starting Over threads. If you just want a single serving of hot lemonade, it should do the trick! :-)


quote:

It should be fresh lemon juice if possible, if not use the frozen concentrate like Minute Maid, not the bottled type like Real Lemon. Add Splenda or whatever non sugar sweetener you prefer. Use 2 tablespoons of the juice, sweeten to taste, and boiling water as far a cup of tea.

Are you all serious? Miracle Whip is the only way I've EVER had potato salad! Hmmm...maybe I'm missing out! Next time I guess I'll try it with regular mayo. I had a friend growing up whose mom added French dressing to hers. Sounds similar to your way Max. It was yummy.

Oh...and for real mayonnaise, I prefer Kraft over Hellman's. Maybe I'm just a Kraft gal. (Yep...good mac & cheese too. hehe KIDDING!!!)

DS,
Do you mean Long Island potato salad? Here's a link to that and others. How did your cookies turn out?

Yes! That is it! I am making it per request. It sounds terrible to me. Thank you so much.

The cookies...sad.

My bottom heating element is not working and a new stove is on the way, but I doubt I will have time to make them. Looks like I will be visiting a bakery!

Does anyone have a recipe for potato soup that doesn't require milk or half and half?

Wargod, sweat a finely diced onion in margerine (or oil), add a little finely chopped salami or other smoked sausage(optional), then 1 t tomato paste (or cubed tomato) and chopped parsley. Add cooked and mashed potatoes. Gradually add broth, bring to full boil, then let simmer for about an hour. (You can use a hadnblender or reg. blender, if absolute smoothness is required).
Great leftover recipe.

Does anyone have an idea on how I can decorate sugar cookies to look like turtles?

Thanks!

Years ago my SIL made a brownie recipe from the back of the box. I even bought a box of these brownies and made it myself. Problem is I lost the recipe and can't even remember the brand of brownies. I was wondering if anyone else has heard of it or made it. I know the basic recipe was tweaked somehow. Don't remember if it was the oil, water or eggs though.

Here is what was in it:
The brownie mix
Cherries (pie cherries in a can)
Chocolate pudding spread on the top after baking.

Landi is right....the best and only right way to make superb potato salad is with Best Foods Hellmann's Mayonnaise.

It could make a rat taste delicious!!! ;)

Biloxi, that sounds so good that I went on a search but didn't find it. The closest thing I found was black forest brownies. They have whipped cream instead of the pudding.

Thanks for looking Mak. I guess it is a lost cause. My SIL doesn't even remember making it. I might just try adding and deleting some oil, eggs and water and see if I can make it again. It is wonderful.

Try putting sugar in it. That has helped me in the past when I've made something too hot. Hope that helps you.
