Jake’s American Potato Salad
I can’t believe that summer is over already. I also can’t believe that we haven’t had a true picnic this summer. We have been very busy but still burgers, sausage, chicken and corn on the grill is usually an every month thing during the summer. This potato salad is my father’s recipe, thus the name. I believe it was probably his mother’s recipe as growing up no matter which aunt and uncle’s house we were at; the potato salad was always this recipe.
This recipe is called American Potato Salad as my mom made German potato salad; usually at the same picnics that the American appeared causing lots of good-natured teasing, along with maybe a sampling of each.
