Funny, I always make potato salad with EITHER mayonnaise or Miracle Whip. I never thought of combining the two! This is very good. The sour cream adds a nice touch too. I added a few minced sweet pickles. But it's the dressing that makes the dish! Thanks, Donna!

Donna, as far as I'm concerned, your Mom knew the secret to the perfect potato salad! This was delicious! I omitted the onion, but added the green onion. Omitted the paprika and the parsley and made my own addition of 2 tbs sweet pickle relish. The combination of the sour cream, Miracle Whip and the Hellman's mayo was the perfect dressing for this salad. Thank you for posting this one, Donna. I will be using your Mom's method from now on!

I made this recipe for my husbands christmas luncheon. I had been doing a search and this is one that was suggested. I have never had a potato salad without mustard and I normally would not use miracle whip but I gave it a shot. It was wonderful. So rich & creamy. I had to triple the recipe and thought that he would at least bring something home. No luck. He boasted that there were 3 other potato salads and mine was the first to go. Now I need to make it again for us. Thanks Donna and her Mom!

Hi Donna; Superb potato salad. Yes, your Mom certainly knew what to to to make it taste so good. My recipe is very similar to yours. The Miracle Whip and Mayonnaise is great, never gave it a thought as I always use Miracle Whip. I added a few thinly sliced radishes and some Dry Mustard for a little pizzaz. Thanks much for your posting. "Uncle Bill"

I would give this 6 stars if i could!!! This is the greatest potato salad i have ever eaten!!!! I REALLY do not like mayo at all and still could not stop eating this. Next time i will mash up the potatoes completly- but that is my preference thanks for posting such a great recipe!!!

I added some chopped sweet pickle but followed to the letter otherwise. GREAT TATER SALAD! The mixture of the MW, mayo and sour cream was really tasty. I would have never thought of mixing them.

To whoever tries this recipe, you use BOTH mayo AND Miracle Whip... it really makes a nice creamy dressing.

WOW ! Verry good ! Try using small red potatoes with their skin on... put some dill and/or finely chopped dill pickles ! A bit different. Thanks for that one !

I made it but I added sweet relish to it and mustard only cause I like my salad tangy then I added the rest of the ingredients. I loved it and it was very creamy. Thanks

The dressing combination was wonderful-nice and creamy. I added a couple of sliced radishes for colour -other than that wouldn't change a thing. Will definately make again.
