Winning Recipe: Grand Prize: Russian Potato Salad
https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/russian-potato-salad/
This Russian potato salad recipe comes from my grandmother, who had written it down in Russian before she translated it for me when I was a teen. We made this every Easter, or for any event where there were family and friends. —Gala McGaughey, Berryville, Virginia
