Oh, herbaceous treat! 'Twould tempt the dying anchorite to eat. -Sydney Smith.
Boil potatoes in skins. Do not peel until cold. Cut in dice. To every pint of potato add ½ tablespoon chopped onion and ½ teaspoon salt. Cover and allow to stand several hours. Make a dressing of 2 well beaten eggs, 1 teaspoon sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, 2 tablespoons flour, 2 teaspoons mixed mustard, ½ cup milk, ½ cup vinegar. Mix dry ingredients, add egg slowly then milk and vinegar. Put in double boiler, when slightly heated add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Cook until it thickens. When cold add to your potato mixture and mix thoroughly. A little chopped green pepper, tomato, celery, pickle or a little grated cheese improves it.
