Ingredients

  • 6 pounds medium red potatoes
  • Water
  • DRESSING:
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup butter, cubed
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar

In a small bowl, beat eggs; add sugar and cornstarch. Add to butter mixture; cook and stir for 5-7 minutes or until thickened. Transfer to a large bowl; cool completely.
