1. I hear miracle whip is good for lubricating door hinges and cars nt

[House of Roberts]

6. Well, it does bear a resemblance to white lithium grease...

[debm55]

9. Thank you House of Roberts, I like the sweet tang of M W

2. Miracle Whip is vile.

I won't eat potato salad or anything else made with it. I'll scrape it off a sandwich if some miscreant has defiled that sandwich with it. It's too sweet and the consistency is weird.

[BOSSHOG]

4. Well said my friend

Damn the miscreant who defiles a sandwich.

[debm55]

11. BUT, but , but Ocelot II, it is the sweetness the makes it tasty to me.

[Ocelot II]

12. Yuck. Potato salad shouldn't be sweet.

It's got potatoes, for heaven's sake!! You don't put sugar on potatoes, do you?

[Elessar Zappa]

25. It's not that sweet though. Just a couple of grams of sugar, I believe.

I like it because it has it seems to have a certain spice added (not sure what it is).

28. I love miracle whip. It brings out the incredible flavors of every food. Yummy!

[BOSSHOG]

3. My wife will only use DUKES MAYO

anytime she needs MAYO. Period. I am well trained relative to grocery shopping. I’ve discovered over the years that women are quite loyal to their brand of mayo. I always add a shake or two of hot sauce to anything with mayo in it.

[debm55]

14. Thank you Bosshog. IMHO mayo is bland. I think the hot sauce would add a kick to it.

[KarenS]

5. Mayo!!

I agree that Miracle Whip is vile

[Ocelot II]

10. Miracle Whip is the spooge of Satan.

[Srkdqltr]

7. Either one as long as i don't have to make it..

If I do, I like miracle whip. Onions, celery and eggs.

[eShirl]

8. mayo is bland phlegm

no thanks

[C_U_L8R]

13. Lemon, dill and a dash of tahini.

Won't kill you when it sits out in the sun.

[debm55]

16. Love tahini. Thank you C_U_LBR

[Wicked Blue]

15. We make a German-style potato salad with olive oil, vinegar

celery seed, parsley, diced celery, etc.

Or a Lebanese-style one that's dressed with olive oil and lemon juice.

If we make one that requires mayo, it's Hellmans.

[Niagara]

17. I don't feast on potato salad because there are at least 60+ grams of carbs in one potato

Carbs are not my friend.


However, I looked in the frig and there is Tops Mayo, zero carbs in the Mayo and zero carbs in a can of tuna in water. I just wrote on the kitchen chalkboard to make tuna salad in a lettuce wrap for my first meal tomorrow. Yay!

[The Wandering Harper]

18. my step-mother thinks Miracle Whip is an abomination.

That was quite a shock to the system after she moved my dad and I in with her.
My mom and grandma were staunch Miracle Whip people.
I like both.
But now I wanna try potato salad with cool whip,
but maybe just once, for the experience

[enid602]

19. Kraft

I’ve recently tried Kraft Real Mayonnaise made with olive oil. Half the fat. It’s great, but still I don’t eat that much mayo in recent years.

[chouchou]

20. Miracle Whip is akin to Donald Trump.

Mayo is akin to the Mayo Clinic. A good thing.

[Brother Buzz]

21. The best potato salad recipe, bar none, is the one that comes with...

Best Foods Mayonnaise (Hellman's in the East)

We haven't purchased Best Foods mayonnaise in a brazilian years, but the little recipe booklet is properly affixed to our refrigerator door.

Their macaroni salad recipe isn't half bad either, especially in HOT weather.

[ailsagirl]

22. I didn't know that Miracle Whip was still around!!

Mayonnaise, of course

[Elessar Zappa]

23. Never tried potato salad with miracle whip.

I usually have mayo with chicken and turkey sandwiches and miracle whip for roast beef.

[Trailrider1951]

24. Neither Mayo nor the Whip

I make my potato salad with ranch salad dressing instead of the other two choices. I even use it in making tuna salad. I really hate mayo, and the Whip is even worse. Ranch just tastes so much better!

[Haggard Celine]

26. I like Blue Plate mayonnaise.

I don't eat it very often but that's what I prefer, especially in potato salad. I wouldn't put Miracle Whip in a potato salad, although I like it on sandwiches sometimes. A little mustard is good in potato salad along with the mayo, eggs, and relish. I like to put bacon in it sometimes, too, but that's for a special potato salad that I make sometimes. I have a couple of different recipes that I like to make.

[Dave in VA]

27. Dukes

I'm a southern boy and we use Dukes. Didn't know any other brand existed in our neighborhood!

[woodsprite]

29. I prefer the flavor of Miracle Whip but use mayo

After adding in the pickle relish, vinegar, celery seed, yellow mustard, mashed HB egg yolks, salt, pepper, and paprika, there’s very little difference in the taste between the two.

I had some horrible potato salad last night - store made because I was skimping on time. I doubt there were anything other than potatoes and a bit of cheap mayo. I'm going to doctor up the leftovers for tonight.

[PennRalphie]

30. Marzettis

With red potatoes of course. Wife and I made 2 big bowls for the family and friends coming this afternoon. Hope the rain holds off, but if not, we’ll be inside and on the porch. Food stays inside, everyone eats where they want. We have a tent set up plus the porch and lots of island seating, just waiting for the masses to arrive. Kids will go to the pool, no matter if the suns shining or not.

Careful with fireworks, everyone. My dog is one of those scared to death of them. He’ll spend the night trying to get on my lap. He’s a Lab, sort of a big lap dog. We can see enough fireworks from our house, we don’t need to go anywhere.

It’s a good day to celebrate America.

Enjoy the 4th, Deb.

[surrealAmerican]

31. I used to always use a combination of mayo and sour cream.

More recently, I've been using plain yoghurt instead of the sour cream.

[TexasBushwhacker]

32. For potato salad I prefer mayo and a healthy amount of mustard

[Upthevibe]

33. debm55,,,,,,,,,,

I like both.

I remember when I was growing up in TX, there was a dressing called Durkees. We loved it. I don't know when or why it quit being a staple in households.....or maybe it is.
