I am looking for a potato salad recipe with a cooked sweet dressing?

Hope you can help. I lost a recipe. I had a recipe I believe I got from Taste of Home or one of those recipes books. It was a red potato salad that had a nice sweet dressing that you cooked and then cooled. It was excellent. This was the only potato salad dressing I really liked. Can anyone help me? Thanks.I am looking for a potato salad recipe with a cooked sweet dressing?

Hi.


Well, if no one else answers this question for you with a cooked version, try this:





-Make the salad, like normal... let it cool (fridge)


-mix 1/2 cup miracle whip


-1 tablespoon mustard


-1tablespoon relish





If you need more dressing... add in the same percentages. It comes out good. Quite sweet with the relish.
