This was great! The apple cider vinegar really makes it tasty and unique. People in the German and French houses in my residence hall at UNC Chapel Hill enjoyed this "Kartoffelsalat" very much tonight. Thank you Boje!

It should be noted that about two lbs. of waxy (NOT starchy) potatoes should be used. The flavor of the sauce was excellent.

Taste just like my Grand's! I added a little red pepper with the celery and onion for a little extra flavor. This is a keeper!! Thank you for posting this recipe!
