• 4 pour that mixture into the liquid boiling on the stove. be sure to continue whisking. once it comes to a full boil, let boil for 30 seconds.
• 5 set this aside to cool, whisking it occasionally to prevent from hardening. once it has cooled, add kraft coleslaw dressing, hellman's mayonnaise, adn miracle whip. mix well.
• 6 boil the potatoes. once they are soft, mash them really well while they are hot.
• 7 at the same time you're cooking the potatoes, cook the eggs. mash seven of them, saving the rest to slice on top of the finished potato salad. (you can use a pastry blender to make sure eggs are well mashed). chop up the onions and celery, very fine. when potatoes are almost cool, add onion, celery and salt and pepper.
• 8 let both mixtures sit overnight in the fridge. in the morning, whisk the eggs and potato mixture,adding mayonnaise to taste. any leftover mayo can be used on sandwiches.
• 9 add threee sliced eggs to the top of the finished potato salad.
