I find it interesting (and humorous!) that there are those who feel the need to dispute that this is "old fashioned potato salad". It's not the same as my mother made either, but so what!! It's Jackie's & it looks good to me! (Well,except the eggs ... I hate eggs!

LOL ) But seriously, folks, even though it's not like YOUR mother's or my mother's, it's still been handed down from another generation making it what .... yep, old fashioned! Thank you, Jackie, for taking the time to post your mother's recipe. Peace, Carol

Adding cucumbers is not an ingredient for my grandmothers old fashion potato salad. I would leave them out but it may be good. I will try it on a smaller level before hosting to family and friends
