This recipe comes from the former Lily’s Cafe. It was always served alongside the very popular sandwiches. People always wanted extra and it was always a big hit. My picky self never dared to try it until I ended up working at the cafe many years ago. After that, you could hardly keep me out of it!
Here’s to the greatest potato salad you will ever have. I know that for a fact because I hate potato salad, but I absolutely love this recipe. Nothing is too overpowering and there aren’t any weird ingredients thrown in. Bring this to your next BBQ, and everyone will be raving about it.
