About This Recipe
"Mom always added sour cream, bacon and bacon drippings to her potato salad and folks loved it. I've dressed it up a little, adding celery, different spices and more eggs than she did. Mom, of course, never measured. In order to post I measured all the ingredients and must say I have given mom a run for her money. Hope you enjoy."

"Wow! I've made many potato salads, but none with the subtle nuances of marjoram, dill, and tarragon! I loved the small hint left behind by the spices. My tongue is doing the happy dance! Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe."
