Grandma Lula's Potato Casserole

My Grandma Lula was a gracious Southern woman. She was a powerhouse, talented and beautiful. She juggled a career, raising successful children and took on my stubborn Grandpa at any given moment. Grandpa was diabetic and because of her diligence, when it came to Grandpa's diet, he was able to live till he was 83. Lula was a fascinating woman, I miss her and her cooking, as well as my Grandpa Bill something awful.
