I have struggled with Potato salad over the years. I love some and I hate many more. I was marinating some Jerk chicken and I decided potato salad would be great pairing today. I called my mom because we had talked Potato salad the other day. She said she had a recipe she wants to vet out and one she loves, but when making it she always burns out. I chose to make that recipe. It turned out to be very good. I did make some changes and I will comment about that in the notes.
My mom thinks it came from a cookbook “the southern woman’s journal”. If that is incorrect I will change soon.
I enjoyed this potato salad tonight with Jerk chicken wings and limeade margaritas!
