johnnie's simple potato salad
I am always cooking and telling stories of my memories, so this one is for my husband. He said when he was growing up, there was always a large bowl of potato salad on the Sunday dinner table. His mother prepared fried chicken, homemade biscuits, and a cake for dessert. It would be pineapple or carrot cake. His father prepared the potato salad every Sunday. When I married Tim, his mother was dead, but his father was remarried to Peggy. They would invite us over sometimes for Sunday dinner. Just as he said, there would be fried chicken and a big bowl of potato salad that his daddy made.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
A creamy, simple, and delicious potato salad recipe. If you're not feeding a crowd, it's a great option to make because it does not make a huge batch. The small amount of onions adds a little bite and crunch, and there's a tang from pickle relish and mustard. Duke's mayonnaise is the star of the show and brings the salad together. We suggest preparing this ahead of time and letting the flavors have a chance to marry. A great summer side dish alongside grilled meats.

- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
