Made this recipe for an Octoberfest party and it was a hit! It sat at room temp for about an hour before being served so the dressing was pretty soaked up but it was very tasty and everyone loved it! Will definitely make again and serve with smoked sausage.

This recipe closely mimics what my training in Germany taught me. With this style of potato salad, simplicity is the key so all elements are supportive of the whole presentation.

For anyone who does not understand the flavors expected of this style of potato salad such as the comment of "too much vinegar", do a bit of research and you will find that if you object on that basis, you chose the wrong type of potato salad or your expectations were skewed by N. American style potato salad. There is not supposed to be any similariy other than the potatoes. This recipe actually uses somewhat less vinegar than classical examples which I actually have grown to prefer. Please try not to rate recipes based upon the misperception of what is essentially a rule for a given cuisine out of ignorance. It is not helpful to anyone and may lead people to pass up a wonderful experience that may broaden their culinary horizons.

Super easy and super delicious! Wouldn't change a thing except I cut the potatoes into quarters for a faster cooking time and peeled them first so I wouldn't have to later. The whole family went nuts over this!

This is a very easy recipe that adapts to a variety of vinegar, cured meats, etc. This time I made it with sherry vinegar and peppered bacon. To top it off I drizzle a delicate olive oil and crumbled Harviti

This potato salad is so full of flavor and is such a nice change from the traditional, southern style potato salad. I have served this several times for casual entertaining, and everyone has loved it! Nice presentation, as well.

makes short ribs taste great, and the bacon pieces gives the salad a kiss of being over the top

I've never made this before and absolutely loved it! Made this as a side for the pork schnitzel on this site, which was also very good. Kids has mixed feelings, one liked other didn't. Nice alternative to heavier potato sides.

Never made potato salad before, and husband won't eat chilled salads, so I tried this one. It was quite tasty - easy to make. It could be a challenge if you want to serve it for guests, since it's best served fresh and you'll need to step away from your guests to make. I used red potatoes (1 1/2 lb instead of waxy, used apple cider vinegar instead of white wine vinegar, and used 4 slices of bacon. Very good!
