MAMA'S POTATO SALAD

Mama's Potato Salad image

This old-fashioned potato salad recipe doesn't have many ingredients, so it isn't as colorful as many that you find nowadays. But Mama made it the way her mother did, and that's the way I still make it today. Try it and see if it isn't one of the best-tasting potato salads you have ever eaten! -Sandra Anderson, New York, New York
