Personal Notes:
Sally Bell's Kitchen is a much loved Richmond, VA tradition. It is famous for its boxed lunches, pecan cheese wafers, upside-down cupcakes and its yummy potato salad. Sally Bell's potato salad recipe has been closely guarded for over 80 years. This recipe comes from the retired food editor of the Richmond Times-Dispatch. It sure tastes like the real thing to me.

Note: Use chopped green onions or leeks for a milder taste.
