Sorry to fixate on this, Nancy... but *sugar*? Why don't you just use
Miracle Whip and be done with that? The only time I use vinegar is
when I make baked beans. I don't use brown sugar, but a little
molasses and a tad of vinegar (1tsp vinegar to 1/2c molasses and at
least 2c water/stock).

Mine has chunks of white, but the yolk is smushed into the mayonnaise
along with some mustard.

okay. That's not a regular in my potato salad, but it will make it if
I have a lot on hand and I want to get rid of it.

In *potato* salad?

Huh. I should try that.

- no onion

OMG! Onion is a major part of potato salad! Which type I make
depends on which onion I use, but the regular potato and mayonnaise
type demands lots of green onions.

Decorate???? Oh, no again. It requires lots of sliced radishes.

> and sliced hard- boiled egg.

Well, the egg is working hard - not just decorating. See above.

The other thing I add is frozen peas. I make sure there is no frost
on them, but I let them thaw after they are mixed in the potato salad.
