"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Personal Notes:
GRANNY SAYS......Omg! Mom’s potato was always to die for! She made the best, I could never duplicate it even when she would tell me what to put in it. So she had this big, humongous recipe of her’s that the church ladies always made for functions, I tried my best to cut it down, it’s still a large bowl of potato salad. But if you can get it to turn out like mom’s you will eat every last potato! No one else’s potato salad ever held a candle to her’s in my world.......
