I have never used a “recipe” for my potato salad so this time I wrote down all the amounts of the ingredients so that I could post it here for you.
Swedish potato salad is very different than American potato salad in that it is very plain and uses a combination of mayonnaise and creme fraiche, no eggs and is very creamy and rather bland… it’s good, but I prefer my potato salad

Ingredients:
Serves 15

• 5 lb. potatoes
• 1/2 C chopped red onion
• 1/2 C sweet pickle relish
• 6 boiled eggs, chopped
• 1 tsp. black pepper
• 2 1/2  C Miracle Whip
• 1 T mustard
• salt to taste

Do this:
Boil potatoes and eggs the day before you plan to make your potato salad and cool thoroughly in the refrigerator. Peel potatoes and the boiled eggs. Cut into desired sizes and place in a large bowl. Chop onion and place in bowl with potatoes and eggs. Add all the remaining ingredients and blend with spatula.
Sprinkle top of potato salad with paprika and garnish with parsley. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

I made this for our family in Sweden last summer but was a bit more of a challenge as Sweden does not have canned peach pie filling so we purchased a can of peaches and thickened the juice with corn starch. I have never tasted such sweet juicy strawberries than the ones grown in Sweden. Simply divine!

Ingredients:
6-8 servings

• 1 can peach pie filling
• 1 quart fresh strawberries
• 1 banana
• 20 oz. can pineapple chunks

Do this:
Cut strawberries into quarters, slice bananas, drain the pineapple and add all fruits to the peach pie filling in large bowl. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the fruits together, chill for 1-2 hours and serve. Doesn’t get any easier than that
