The best potato salad ever eaten. My mother made it for years and I now I have taken the mission of keeping this vital recipe alive. I am not allowed to go to any function without ten pounds of this stuff with me. Be advised: you must understand your fate and immediately find a bowl that you can lug around with you. Enjoy your potato popularity! Hint: You MUST use Hellmann's mayonnaise.
