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?

    My friend Dottie...

    makes the best potato salad in the world. It is in the classic style, unapologetic, never too juicy, and as a twist, she chops in a few black olives. My potato salad is pretty good, but somehow it never quite hits the spot like Dottie's (does she use more eggs? different brand of mayo? less pepper? I'm baffled). If you're an Oregonian, which I am, another mouth-watering option is to make a standard dill-pickle infused potato salad, then add a pound (and no less) of Dungeness crab. Oh, yummy.

    Thanks, Garrison. Happy Fourth to you.
