This is the potato salad I've been trying to make all this time...

POTATO SALAD
2 lb. Yukon Gold potatoes
1 egg
1/2 c. chopped celery
1/4 c. finely chopped sweet onion
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1 1/2 Tbs. celery seed
1 Tbs. sugar
1 Tbs. white vinegar
3 to 4 Tbs. minced sweet pickles
1/2 c. light mayonnaise
1/3 c. Miracle Whip Light
paprika

Chop the potatoes into bite-sized pieces and boil until soft. Meanwhile, hard-boil the egg.
Put the cooked potatoes in a large bowl. On top of them, heap the celery, onion, salt, pepper, dry mustard, celery seed, sugar, vinegar, and pickles. Don't stir yet.
In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, the Miracle Whip, and the yolk of the hard-boiled egg. Mash the yolk in with a fork.
Chop the egg white and add it to the potato bowl.
Add the mayonnaise mixture to the potato bowl and fold the whole mixture together until well mixed, being careful not to smash up the potatoes. Press plastic wrap directly on top of the salad and refrigerate until well chilled (preferably overnight).
Remove the plastic wrap, fluff up the salad with a fork, and sprinkle liberally with paprika.
