Grandma Vera's German Potato Salad Recipe image

This recipe is on an old faded piece of paper from my mother-in-law who passed away a few years ago... This recipe is so darn good and easy that I am tired of looking it up so putting here for safe keeping...None of the others on recipezaar are quite the same.
