Fannie Farmer’s Bolivia (Potato) Salad

First published in 1896 as The Boston Cooking-School Cook Book by Fannie Merritt Farmer, the cookbook quickly became known as the Fannie Farmer Cookbook. By far the most famous cookbook of its era, it changed the world of food preparation, teaching generations of Americans how to cook.

One of my favourite summer recipes from the cookbook is her colourful Bolivia (Potato) salad.
