White Potato Salad (No Mustard) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    6 -8 cups cooked, cubed potatoes (boiled with jackets on, and peeled)
    1 whole onion, chopped (any kind, but red onions are probably the best to use)
    4 stalks celery, finely chopped
    6 hard-boiled eggs, diced up
    8 small sweet gherkins
    3 cups Miracle Whip (yes, Miracle Whip!)
    3 tablespoons white vinegar
    3 tablespoons white sugar
    3 teaspoons salt
Preparation
    Boil Whole potatoes until a fork will easily slide in and back out with no resistance at all.
    Lay out on counter for an hour or so to cool nicely.
    Peel, and cube.
    I usually do this with no recipe, so I have estimated the amounts as closely as possible.
    While potatoes are cooking, mix together, the Miracle Whip, Vinegar, Sugar, and Salt, and refrigerate.
    In a large bowl, mix together, the onion, celery, eggs, sweet pickles, and potatoes.
    Add miracle whip mixture a little at a time, until it seems the right consistency for potato salad.
    You may have some mix left over, but don't throw it out.
    After refrigerating a while, the potatoes will absorb a lot of the mixture, and you may need to add more.
    Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
    It may taste salty until after it's refrigerated a while.
    If you like more salt, or sour (vinegar), you may adjust recipe accordingly.
    Just add a little at a time to the finished product, of vinegar, or salt, and mix, until it tastes right to you.
    The same applies if you like it sweeter.
