Potato Salad (Recipe)

This first time I remember making potato salad, it was with my grandmother and it was her Potato Salad For 100 recipe. The recipe calls for 30 pounds potatoes, 15 dozen eggs, and 1 gallon of mayo!

It is the perfect finish for last week's Mouthwatering Spare Ribs recipe, as well as meatballs, burgers or meatloaf!
