German Potato Salad I

Description

This recipe came from an estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the Bailey Estate in Roanoke, Texas in 1984. Notation on card indicates this is a family favorite that goes back at least 3 generations. Dated 1934. From "Catsrecipes Y-Group"
