Potato Salad was a must-have side dish for every picnic and barbecue. My Mother made THE BEST potato salad ever and I can replicate it pretty well. There are no measurements, just a ‘pinch of this and a pinch of that’ type of preparation. When my Mother made it, she used onions from the garden and eggs from our farm.
My Potato Salad is pretty darn good, but you can never top what Mom could do!
