Last week we asked for your favorite vintage Potato Salad recipe. Here's one from Carol T. Thank you, Carol!

Potato Salad

2 lbs. potatoes (5 to 6 medium), peeled and cut into 3/4-inch chunks
½ cup Real Mayonnaise
1 Tbsp. vinegar
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
½ cup thinly sliced celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 Tbsp. dill relish
2 hard-cooked eggs, chopped

Cover potatoes with water in 4-quart saucepot; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.
Combine Mayonnaise, vinegar, salt, sugar and pepper in large bowl. Add potatoes, celery, relish, onion and eggs and toss gently. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Marilin G. sent in an old recipe she found: "Good evening. I enjoy reading the newsletter, and especially enjoy the vintage recipe section. This evening I was “sifting through” some old recipes ~ many of them written on scraps of paper. One really struck my funny bone as I read to the end of it, and thought I’d share it with you. Below is exactly as it appears on a very fragile, yellowed paper …"

Pie Plant Wine.

10# pie plants
10# sugar
2 ½ gallons water
2 pkg raisins
1 yeast cake

Do not peel pieplant cut in small pieces. Boil water and pour over pieplant let stand 10 days stirring every day

Then strain and press out juice. add sugar raisins and yeastcake let stand 30 days stirring each day. strain off put in bottles Do not cork up tight Just tie cloth over tops or bottles will burst. Very good? I’ll say

Editor's Note: Anyone have a clue as to what "Pie Plant" is??

*Note - the recipes are submitted by fellow Collectors Newsletter readers and are not checked for accuracy or tested by the TIAS staff. Keep in mind that many of these recipes were created at a time when there were no worries about such things as raw eggs, for example - so modern kitchen safety should prevail.
--------------------

8. As with collectibles, people also have very strong feelings about foods from their past. Sometimes these special recipes get lost. This section is to help people who are looking for lost recipes from their past. If you submit a request, please include the geographical region where you tasted the recipe.

We didn't receive any requests for vintage recipes this week. Care to share your mom's best potato salad or deviled eggs recipes, or maybe Baked Beans that don't come out of a can? Seems fitting for this time of year!

If you have a vintage recipe request send it to recipes@tias.com and we might just publish it here.

TIAS.com merchants have well over 4,000 cookbooks for sale! You can see them here: http://www.tias.com/books/cooking/
