Recipe Talk

I am looking for a recipe from McCalls Great American Recipe card collection. It is a warm potato salad that consisted of diced cooked potatoes, covered with a mixture of half and half, mayonnaise, red onions, dill, bacon, and some other things I can't remember. It was called potatoe delight, or something like that. If anyone could help, I would appreciate it. I have a pretty big collection of the cards, so if anyone needs help with any other recipes, let me know.

I'm sorry that I can't help you with your recipe...Over the years, I lost most of mine. One recipe that is from that collection that my family absolutly LOVED, and still talk about, is Rhubard Custard Pie......I would be forever in your debt if you could help me out. Thank you for looking.......Barb
