I learned how to make potato salad from my Mother who lives in Abita Springs, Louisiana.

It was a staple around our house, and everyone loved Miss JeanneâÂÂs cooking.

I can remember the large gatherings every weekend with family and friends filling the household.

The women took it upon themselves to make sure there was more than an abundance of food to eat.

I believe that you get your best recipes from those who have come before.
