  1. I actually found this recipe in the same book as the original poster of the recipe. I was told by my Grandmother that our family used to live in the P.A Dutch area and moved to Indiana in a covered wagon in the early 1800s. So as soon as I seen this recipe I had to try it and it is absolutely the best potato salad I have ever had. I would have never thought of using a bacon gravy for a base in potato salad but it kicks it up way over the top. I thought it was really good as a hot salad but when it cooled in the fridge for a few hours it was even better. If you like old style Americana food and flavors you will LOVE this potatoe salad!!!!!!
