TRADITIONAL COLOMBIAN POTATO SALAD
This is the way my MIL makes potato salad, at least according to DH's memory. It has vienna sausages, cut up, potatoes, eggs, peas and carrots. Don't laugh, it is good and every bite tastes different. For some reason, the only vienna sausages I could find in the store were made by Goya in the International aisle. I guess it is just one more ingredient that is disappearing from the shelves in the supermarket.
