My Grandma's Pa Dutch Potato Salad
(2)
Recipe by Cabin Cat

So many potato salad recipes try to make themselves better by adding unusual ingredients. I can guarantee those will be the ones still sitting on the table after the picnic is over. This recipe came from my Grandma who was born in the late 1800's and it's the only one we keep coming back to!
