It's time to stand up for homemade potato salad

Come on, people, it's not that hard to make. Do you really think we can't tell the difference?

    Nailed it

    Mom & Dad's potato salad -- made the evening before the barbeque with chopped celery and green peppers (not chives), topped with round slices of hard-boiled eggs and sprinkles of paprika. Perfect with anything off the grill.

    And Grandma's dill pickles -- she grew everything to make them in her garden, including the dill, the scent of which always reminds me of summer evenings. No garlic in them at all. She gave each of her children a five gallon glass jar of them each year.

    I still make the potato salad, never tried the pickles.
