Found my grandma's old recipe box at a flea market in Boise

It was full of handwritten cards for things like 'church picnic beans' and 'Aunt Mabel's spice cake' (which made me realize how much we just google things now). Anyone have a family recipe you'd never trust to just a search result?

My great aunt's potato salad recipe is like that. It's just a list of ingredients on a stained card, but the real trick is in the notes she wrote in the margins about letting the potatoes steam dry. You'd never find that part online.

Exactly! The best instructions are always hidden.
