My paternal grandmother expected family/friends at her house on any occasion, and the table was always full with what she had cooked. I was never there for the food prep, but I'd say there were few recipes to be found. xo NellieNelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00731594872663348711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-61188420525513528162016-06-18T16:23:59.350-04:002016-06-18T16:23:59.350-04:00No onions in this potato salad?

Being summer and that bag of potatoes staring at me, it seemed like the right time to make Grandma's potato salad. Branding of items here in the US can be quite confusing.
