Polish Potato Salad image

After the war, my Polish relatives spread to all corners of the world, even Downunder, taking their fantastic cuisine with them. This is a delicious potato salad made by my grandmother and mother as well as the extended family. It contains some unusual ingredients. As with many family recipes, this has never been written down. The quantities are estimates, you can add more or less to suit your tastes.
