Stella's Dill Potato Salad

I prepared this and took to a function recently and when I picked up the bowl, it had been scraped. Those women must have really liked this recipe - and I had made a big bowl - four batches! Stella is a great cook, just ask any of her sisters! She's been at home in the kitchen since she was about 7 years old - the middle child of a dozen of Partons born in the hollars of the Smoky Mountains.

½ - 1 cup Duke’s or homemade mayonnaise

1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste

½ teaspoon cracked pepper or to taste

3 eggs, hard boiled and chopped fine

2 teaspoons dry dill or to taste (use fresh if you have plenty)

½ cup yellow onion, chopped fine

2 lbs potatoes cooked, allowed to cool, then peeled, and cubed

Fresh dill sprigs for garnish

Note: Boil potatoes with skins on to retain nutrients.

1. Mix together first six ingredients. Toss with cooled potatoes.

“Tedda, I love the book! I’m just so sorry you have had to deal with so many fools in life. You are such a powerful force in our lives as a family and one of the funniest and smartest people I know.”

Dolly Parton, Sister

“This book is a page turner. Who would have believed it? I knew you were talented, and a woman of faith, but I never dreamed you had survived what would have killed most women. I’m so proud and in awe of you, Stella – Tell It Sister, Tell It.”

Libby Murphy, Friend

“Stella had done and been through so much. She’s a spiritual person and a beautiful woman. I get where she’s coming from, as my family grew up in the lower foothills of the Appalachians in Alabama. Stella Parton is mercy and faith and grace. She is a bright and shining star. We were honored that she shared her story with us in Jackson TN.”

Liz Gist, First Lady of Jackson TN
