Classic Creamy Potato Salad
It simply would not be summer without Potato Salad. This is a version that has been kicking around my family since the beginning of time. I always remember my grandmother, Nanny, making it for Sunday evening cold plates. It was usually served with left over cold meats, beet salad, pickles and a slice of tomato. Well, that was how I remember it. I always loved her potato salad. I know this one is not an exact replica but it comes close enough for me to turn the clock back and reminisce.
