Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This recipe was usually doubled and served at Juenger summer picnics. I can remember Gram burning her fingers while peeling and slicing the hot potatoes because she was too impatient to wait.
It doesn't taste the same unless it's served in a big yellow Tupperware bowl...
