This was just like my father used to make it. The 1st time I made it I couldn't believe it as my Dad never gave me the recipe. I like it better cold but warm was good also. I added dill relish and hard boiled eggs.

This is "German Potato Salad" in my book! My Dad who was born in Germany, made this often while I was growing up. He was a Chef but never left us with instrustions. I tried many recipes but this is it! I made this last night. I nearly cried, it brought back so many memerories and tasted sooooo good. I didn't change a thing. I used red potatoes and cider vinegar. It tates better warm or at room temp. Thank you for bringing back the good memories of the past. -
This is just as we make it also. Love it!!! Great recipe.

My oh my, this was gooood! Make sure you don't overcook your potatoes for this one. We like ours sliced thin so the flavors get to the core of the potatoes. Really yummy to the tummy! We like it just as well at room temp as cold! -
Very tasty. I had never had potato salad that wasn't creamy. This one is much lighter but doesn't lose anything in terms of taste. The potatoes make their own creamy texture. The Hormel bacon bits rehydrate and you would never know they were Hormel. Thank you.
