Country Style Potato Salad

-3 medium Idaho or other baking potatoes, scrubbed, peeled, cut into 2" chunks (waxy or red-skinned potatoes don't absorb the flavors as well and produce a result that isn't as good)
-1 small onion
-3 T sweet pickle relish
-2 hard boiled eggs, peeled (my dh loves boiled eggs so I do 2-3)
-1/3 cup Kraft Miracle Whip (not real mayo yuck)
-2 teaspoons French's yellow prepared mustard
-salt and pepper to taste

In large saucepan starting with cold water, boil potatoes til fork-tender (about 20 minutes after they come to a boil). Drain thoroughly and immediately place potatoes in large mixing bowl. Finely chop the onion and sprinkle it over the potatoes.Top with the pickle relish. Chop eggs so the whites are a little smaller than 1/4" dice and the yolks are finely-diced. Add Miracle whip and mustard and a dash of salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly using potato masher, mashing occasionally until the majority of the potatoes are mashed but some lumps remain. Cover and refrigerate immediately, and chill until thoroughly cold. Taste for seasonings and add a little more Miracle Whip or pickle relish and pickle juice if necessary

Tip: IF you don't have hard-boiled eggs in the fridge, she saves time by boiling the carefully-washed eggs along with the potatoes. Start them in cold water along with the potatoes so the heat doesn't break the shells.
