Aunt June's Potato Salad

This might be a little late for summer, but we're experiencing summer temps here this week. My aunt's recipe, which is always a hit at picnics and cookouts.

Ingredients:

*4 medium or 6 small red potatoes (about 1¼ pounds)
*1/2 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
*1/2 cup sour cream
*2 tablespoons milk
*1½ teaspoons yellow mustard
*1 or 2 hard boiled eggs, thinly sliced or diced
*1/4 cup green onion, sliced
*salt and pepper to taste
*paprika (optional)

Directions:

Wash potatoes. Cook potatoes, covered, in boiling water for 20-25 minutes or until tender. Drain water and cool.

Peel potatoes, if desired, and slice or dice. Place in a large serving bowl.

In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, milk, and mustard. Pour mixture over potatoes and toss gently until potatoes are coated.

Fold in eggs. Add green onions an hour before serving so that they don’t overpower the salad. Add salt and pepper. Keep refrigerated until serving. If desired, sprinkle the top of the salad with some paprika to add a little color.
Makes 6-8 servings.
