Lois Elaine Mueller's recipes are featured every Monday on this blog. Her heyday was in the 1950's and 1960's, and her children swear she was the best cook that ever lived. Many baby boomers will remember these mouth-watering recipes, and these dishes are just as tasty today as they were in the sixties.
Lois was from Michigan, where there are quite a few people of German descent, including the Mueller's. This German potato salad was a favorite in the Mueller house....
