Homemade Potato Salad Recipe

I find my family being invited to many barbecues and picnics now that Summer has come to call.  To me a barbecue isn’t a barbecue without Potato salad.

I just love homemade potato salad.  Funny enough,  I had my first homemade potato salad experience when I joined my husband’s family.   It was perfect.  I loved the combination of the eggs and pickles and the crunch of celery.  When the next party rolled around, I asked my husband if he knew how to make it.  My husband can make anything,  and sure enough he taught me how to make homemade potato salad.
