African-American



Potato Salad

You won't be surprised to read that I found many recipes for potato salad in the several African American cookbooks that I consulted. Indeed there are probably as many potato salad recipes as there are cooks. The one I settled on is a very, very simple one. All it has are potatoes, celery and onion. I chose this one mostly because I didn't want to chop any more vegetables, but it worked very work, perhaps because rather than spite its simplicity. Mike loved it and he kept eating it for many days. I will surely make it again, though next time I'll use non-fat mayo to keep the calories down.
