This one takes me back many years. Me and my brothers would work in her yard on some Saturdays. She would feed us lunch. Sometimes sandwiches, stuffed potatoes, deviled crabs, or something. One afternoon it was this recipe I so fell in love with it! So I share it with you now. I hope you can give it a try.
