I love potato salad, especially when it's made with my german grandmother's favorite recipe. She would boil a large pot full of small potatoes (about 5 or 6 lbs.) with the skins on, then poke them with a fork periodically to check for softness. At the same time she would boil about a dozen of eggs in another large pot. When they were done she would put them in a strainer and run some cold water over them before letting us kids pull the skins off the potatoes and peel the eggs. Then we would cut the potatoes into thick slices and quarter the eggs. While us kids worked on that, "Oma" would dice 2 onions and about 4 large pickles and crisply fry a pound of thick-cut bacon and crumble it. Then everything got mixed in this huge stainless steel bowl with about half a jar of mayonaise type dressing and a bit of spicey brown mustard. I make it several times each summer, it's great for BBQs and leftovers (if there are any, and often there aren't) are quick lunches the next day. Coleslaw made with white cabbage and some purple cabbage, red radishes, green onions and shredded carrots is another summertime favorite of mine.
