Patio Potato Salad

If you know my family and you have been to a family function, this Potato Salad is ALWAYS on the table.  It's definitely a family favorite.  All the flavors, the texture, everything about it, I love!

Patio Potato Salad


1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup vinegar
1 egg
4 tablespoons margarine
3/4 teaspoon celery seed
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1 onion chopped
1/4 cup mayonnaise
7 medium potatoes, cooked, peeled, and diced
3 hard cooked eggs
Paprika


In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch; add next 6 ingredients and 3/4 teaspoon salt.  Cook and stir over low heat until bubbly.  Remove from heat.  Add mayonnaise and onions.  Combine potatoes and chopped eggs.  Gently fold in dressing.  Chill.  Sprinkle with paprika before serving.


**NOTE**
~I have found if you double the recipe (not the amount of potatoes), it makes the salad so it is not so dry.
~I add a 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground pepper.
~Smokey Paprika adds such a great flavor.
