Sweet potatoes are more nutritious, while white potatoes are often cheaper.

Wash and clean 14 medium to large red potatoes.

Place half of the potatoes in a Ziploc bag with 1/4 cup of water and seal the bag.

Microwave the potatoes on high for 10 minutes, then check for doneness with a fork.

If needed, add more time in 5-minute increments until cooked through.

While potatoes are cooking, bring water to a boil and cook 10 eggs for 10 minutes, then cool quickly.

Fry 1 lb of bacon until crispy, then drain.

Chop 1 heaping cup of celery, 1 small red onion, and 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley.

After potatoes are cooled, cut them into pieces with skins on.

Add a little salt to the warm potatoes and toss lightly.

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl: chopped vegetables, eggs, bacon, and dressing.

Gently toss the ingredients to combine without mashing the potatoes.

If the salad is too dry, add Miracle Whip to taste and mix gently.

Garnish with reserved bacon, parsley, and grape tomatoes.
