I remember my mom made the prettiest potato salad…all dressed up with quartered boiled eggs, halved cherry tomatoes, cornichons and dill freshly picked from her herb garden. What was her secret to fabulous potato salad? She added capers!
Enjoy my potato salad recipe from my Southern Spoonful recipe column in the Roanoker Magazine:
