I grew up near a small village called Hesson, Ontario. One of the highlights of the year was the annual St. Mary's Parish Garden Party. On the menu was a potato salad that always got rave reviews. This recipe from my Great-Grandmother is close to what was found at that annual event.
Cook potatos and allow to cool (do not overcook them, you don't want them to be mushy).
Dice or grate potatoes, add a chopped green onion and some chopped celery. Can also add 2-3 chopped hard boiled eggs.
Salad Dressing
1 cup white sugar
1 tbsp flour
2 tbsp dry mustard
1 tsp salt
Mix together in a saucepan and then add:
1 tbsp butter
1 cup white vinegar
2 eggs (beaten)
Cook until thick on medium heat.
Add about 1/4 cup of the salad dressing with half & half cream. Add to potatoes to make creamy.

Meatloaf
Cheap, easy and great for lunch the next day. A favourite of mine and my kids.
1 can tomato or golden mushshoom soup or a cup to a cup and a half of ketchup
2 pounds ground beef
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs or crushed soda crackers
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 egg slightly beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup water
Mix 1/2 of the soup (or ketchup), beef, beef, crumbs, onions, egg and salt. Shape into loaf pan. Leave a gap of about an inch at the end of the loaf pan. While the loaf cooks a lot of the grease and fat from the ground beef will pool here and can be drained off after cooking. Pour the remaining soup (or ketchup) over the top of the loaf and then bake at 375 F for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
