Norma’s Famous Potato Salad

March 31, 2015 by myrecipeconfessions

 

Norma’s Famous Potato Salad. My mom use to make this salad for every family get together when I was little. There was never any leftovers because she is famous for her potato salad. I have tried other recipes, but I always come back to this one. It is a great salad to serve at your summer barbecues.

While growing up, when we had a  extended family party, my mom would always make her famous potato salad. Very seldom did we come home from the party with leftover potato salad. If we were lucky, my mom would make this potato salad for us when my dad would barbecue for dinner.

Over the years, I remember many people asking my mom for the recipe. The problem is that there really isn’t a recipe. My mom would graciously give them the recipe the best that she could, given the fact that she never measured anything when she cooked.

So in order to share this recipe with you, I had to carefully measure everything and take good notes to make sure that I got it just right. I even called my sister Janean who makes this salad more than my mom does now days and asked her how she makes it.

I hope you enjoy Norma’s Famous Potato Salad as much as my family and I have over the years.

With love from my kitchen to yours,
