#86 - Grandma's Potato Salad II: Christmas Edition

Back in December for the office Christmas party I made my second attempt at my Grandmother's potato salad. You can read about my first successful attempt here.

This second go-around was a lot less complicated since I got a bunch of really nice pots - including an 8 qt stockpot - for my birthday. So, I was able to boil the 5 lbs of potatoes in one fell swoop. I'm still a slow chopper but I had gained a lot of confidence since the last time and there wasn't as much minute by minute worrying this time. I was in the potato salad zone.

I'm pleased to report that this time the finished product tasted much closer to true even before setting up than the previous batch. Unfortunately not many people tried it at the party. So I had a bunch left-over - so I was able to pig out effectively deal with the situation.

It passed the parents' taste test too - so 2 for 2 on potato salad with one attempt remaining.
