>>Anne:  Do they put hard boiled eggs
in their potato  salad? Mom used to cut up the eggs in the salad, then put
some sliced  eggs on the top, topped then with paprika and nutmeg. First time
I  added paprika and nutmeg to potato salad for my Richmond-born husband,  he
asked if I was poisoning him!

My mother's folks weren't from the valley but Mom (SW WVa) fixed her  potato
salad that way.  Might have had something to do with her  father originally
being from the Pound area in SW VA and his ancestors  coming from via the
Valley, altho they were English/Scottish.  Her  mother was from KY, tho assume her
ancestors came thru southern  VA
