This is my grandmaw's version of potato salad. I have grew up eating this side dish for years and it is so delicious. One of my favorite ways of eating it is with BBQ baby back ribs that have been smoked on the smoker, mac & cheese and a nice dinner roll to go on the side. Also do not forget to add that delicious glass of ice cold sweet tea. Is your mouth watering yet?

Dorothy Dandridge was one of Hollywood’s first Black sex symbols and the first black actress to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress. Around 1930, Dandridge relocated to Los Angeles, California, with her family. A few years later she found success with her new musical group, the Dandridge Sisters, which included sister Vivian and their friend Etta Jones. The group landed gigs at the famous Cotton Club in Harlem and performed with top acts such as the Jimmie Lunceford Orchestra and Cab Calloway. As an African American singer, Dandridge confronted early on the segregation and racism of the entertainment industry. She may have been allowed on stage, but in some venues, she couldn't eat in the restaurant or use certain facilities because of the color of her skin."
