Classic Potato Salad

Who made the Potato Salad? One thing is for sure & two things for certain, you will not find any raisins in the Potato Salad at our holiday table because my cousin Coco holds it down!

She is the type of cook that can taste a bite of something & accurately tell you every single ingredient in the recipe. It really is a gift. So when she tasted my Potato Salad & gave it her stamp of approval, I knew I had passed the vibe check.

The secret? Cooking the potatoes just right so they’re not too firm & not too mushy. Get into this winning recipe for FREE straight from my best selling eCookbook “And Just Like That… Soulful Holiday Recipes Made Easy!” #LetsVibe
