Grandma Betty’s Potato Salad
One of our family favorites is Grandma Betty’s potato salad. It is refreshing, delicious, and best of all, it’s made with such simple ingredients.
We serve it all summer long at family gatherings and also into the fall when we take meals to the men who are working hard in the fields.
A special memory we all have of Grandma Betty is that she would make this salad two ways- one bowl with onions and one bowl without- for all family meals. That way everyone would have some just they way they liked it! What a grandma!
