them very much They called "patate sabbiose"! I must find the recipe. Is
your recipe like this?
I would like to try your recipe.
Thank you

Well, not really, but here is the recipe. Anything with bacon and
potatoes sounds good to me, though 🙂.
Trudy's potato salad:
10 pounds of potatoes (I have used russets and all-purpose and red
potatoes for this. Trudy always used russets- it makes a more "mushy"
potato salad, but all-purpose or red potatoes will hold their shape
better, if that's what you like. If you use all-purpose, peel them
before you boil. peeling red potatoes *ever* ought to be a crime :>😉,
boiled, peeled, and cut into 6ths or 8ths depending on size
a dozen hard boiled eggs, 2 sliced into wedges, the rest peeled and cut
into small chunks
a few green onions, cleaned and sliced the long way
the better part of a 32 oz. jar of miracle whip (you can add a bit of
vinegar and sugar to mayo for a similar taste)
a pound of bacon, cut into small pieces and fried up
a heaping cup of chopped celery
a heaping cup (or more, if you like onions as much as I do) of chopped onion
I usually drizzle a bit of the bacon grease on the potatoes while they
are cooling. (my contribution to the recipe)
when everything is cooled, mix everything except the green onions and
egg wedges, and season with seasoned salt and pepper. Use the egg wedges
and green onion for garnish, and sprinkle with paprika.
When we lived with my in-laws, I used to help his grandmother make this
twice a year at christmas and easter. Neither of my husband's sisters
are very keen on cooking (and one of them is vegan, and would not touch
bacon or eggs if you paid her), so it's on my shoulders now. I don't
mind- I think it's best slightly warm, right after it's mixed up
(especially licked off my fingers before I wash them to put on the
garnishes :> )
She was a really cool older lady and I miss her a lot.
