Summary
My mom was raised in a very dedicated German family this was one of my favorite German dishes she made while growing up. It can make a nice variation to your BBQ menu & be a nice surprise for your guests or family. It also goes nicely with any meal as a substitute for regular potato salad. If you have never had German Potato Salad you are in for a true delight! Enjoy!
