Cooked Cream Dressing

None of these recipes has any apparent claim to being Piccadilly's "Cooked Cream Dressing" for their potato salad that is used in the recipe posted on 2-12-2022, but I am posting them FWIW. These are not recommendations. These dressings may or may not be similar to Piccadilly's. If you make the potato salad recipe in that post and use one of these recipes for the "Cooked Cream Dressing", then there is no guarantee that the result will taste like the cafeteria's potato salad.

On 2/11/22 You posted an incomplete recipe for Piccadilly Potato Salad 
with Cooked Cream Dressing. I found three potato salad recipes that includes 
cooked cream dressing. Two are very similar and may explain the mayo question. 
One is for the microwave. Hope these recipes help. Pat

Rather then sending the recipes I have included the web addresses so you can 
check them out.

Cooked Salad Dressing
You mentioned on the recipe for the Piccadilly Potato Salad 
you didn't have the recipe for the cooked salad dressing that 
had been on the back of your recipe card.
Taste of Home had this posted and some of the ingredients were 
things I would use in my potato salad.  It also included the 
Mayo so maybe you could take out the mayo from the original recipe?
This is what they had for the recipe, the link is below after that.

Ingredients

1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon butter
1/2 cup mayonnaise
Torn mixed salad greens

Directions

In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, flour, mustard and salt. 
Stir in egg until smooth. Gradually add vinegar and water. Cook 
and stir over medium heat for 3 minutes or until mixture reaches 
at least 160° and coats the back of a metal spoon.
Remove from the heat; stir in butter. Let stand for 5 minutes. 
Stir in mayonnaise until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until 
chilled. Serve with salad greens.
