This is my all-time favorite recipe for Hot German Potato Salad. The combination of tangy, sweet and savory flavors is fantastic!
This was passed down from my friends Great-Great-Grand Mother who came from Germany in the 1800’s.
This recipe is almost identical to my neighbors recipe. She was born and raised in Regensburg Germany. So I’m guessing it’s authentic!
This can also be served at room temperature and cold. It doesn’t have to be hot.
