What is it about a cool potato salad and a warm day that just seems perfect?
I come from a long line of potato salad connoisseurs. I have five aunts and one grandma who have perfected their recipes to a science. Boil the eggs, peel the potatoes, add the secret ingredients, and stir. Okay, to be plainly honest, I'm not quite sure what they use to make the "best batch ever" every time, but it works. And they make it look so easy!
I've never wanted to know this black magic they use. I was always content to enjoy the fruits (or potatoes) of their labor. But, as I get older I realize that the most wonderful part of the potato salad is making it for your family. I think it's time I learned from all of them, so that I'll be able to pass down the tradition to my children.
Enjoy your summer, your family, and don't forget the potato salad!
