This month’s recipe comes from Jodi Branco of Chowchilla, Calif. Many know Jodi and know that she is one heck of a mom in the kitchen. I had the chance to try her very tasty Potato Salad, and I couldn’t help myself and had to get two more plates of it! At the BBQ it was all the rage, and such a simple recipe! With summer here, this is the perfect meal to have for lunch or even dinner! I know I’ll be bringing it to many BBQ’S in the future and I hope all of you give it a try! Happy summer and stay cool!  


5 lbs. russet potatoes

1 red onion

6 hard-boiled eggs

Two 16-oz cans black olives

6 stalks celery

1 lb. bacon

Mayonnaise to bind it all together

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool, and chop. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil; cover, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, peel and chop. Cook bacon, crumble. Cut eggs, olives, celery and onion. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, eggs, celery, onion, olives and mayonnaise until everything sticks together. Mix together well and refrigerate until chilled; salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
