Potato Salad?!
Potato Salad?
My nan makes a potato salad, she is away at the moment else i would ask her, but she uses cream, potatos and vinegar. anyone know anything about this? i would love to know how to make it.
Answers:
You can buy potato salad dressing from the shops. Just boil some potatoes, drain them, cook some bacon, boil an egg and add all the ingredients together. Parsley and chives go well with the salad as a decoration/ garnish.
Hope this helps.
