I saw this recipe in the paper the other day and decided I would try it out. The lady submitting the recipe said this: "My sister-in-law has always been an amazing cook. When we gathered for family parties, everyone eagerly watched to see what kind of culinary delight she would bring. Several years ago my anticipation quickly turned to disenchantment when she showed up to our Memorial Day cookout with a bowl of potato salad, a dish so normal I counted on disappointment. But since I did not want to offend her, I sampled a small plate. By the end of the night I had forgone dessert in favor of my fifth helping of the salad. Before she left, I begged for the leftovers." I was skeptical when I made it because it was so stupidly simple, how could it be good? Try it, you'll like it!
