Recipe Review: The Neelys’ Grandma Jean’s Potato Salad

May 7, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 3 Comments

Please note: I forgot to mention that you also add some chopped onion and celery to the salad! I had almost given up on finding the perfect potato salad recipe. I had tried so many and most of them were flavourless and boring. A couple of summers ago I saw the Neelys make their Grandma […]

Now that the world is cooling off outside here, the ground covered in frost every morning and even sometimes visited by snow, it is time to start roasting food.
