This recipe is supposed to taste like the potato salad from Mark's Feed Store. If you're not familiar with MFS (it's a Kentucky thing), they have great barbecue... but the best thing on their menu (in my humble opinion) is their potato salad!
This recipe makes a TON of "sauce." It calls for 3 lbs of potatoes, but I recently made it using 5 lbs and still had a little bit of extra sauce at the end. (Note: it also helps if you add the sauce bit-by-bit instead of dumping it on all at once and there being too much... whoopsies. Been there, done that!) I didn't use any celery (I'm not a fan), I added a pinch of ground mustard (but be careful... too much and it has a real zing to it! ...been there, done that, too), and I used 5 or 6 eggs (I love hard-boiled eggs!) instead of 4. Tasty!
Since I'm sharing a success, I'll also share a failure... I made blueberry cobbler tonight and was not impressed. Almost all of the reviews say it's "the best ever," but I beg to differ! Granted, I don't think I cooked it long enough, and I cut the sugar in half... ok, ok, so maybe it was my fault. :)
What's your favorite recipe? (Or favorite recipe disaster?) I'm dying to know. Especially if you have a good one for blueberry cobbler....

The easiest cobbler base: 1 cup self-rising flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup milk. Add any fruit you like! Put the fruit in your baking dish, pour this batter all over the top. Bake at 350 for about 30-45 minutes or until golden brown. :)
