Meet the Cook: What makes this German potato salad so different is that it's sweet instead of tangy. During the holidays, my family has an annual ham dinner, and I always prepare it. The tastes blend very well. The first time I took my potato salad to work, people kept coming out of their offices to find out what smelled so good. By lunch, it was gone. Now, I make a double batch to take to work! -Julie Myers, Lexington, Ohio

Great flavor, easy, simple ingredients. Perfect balance of flavors, a favorite when growing up and this lived up to the memories. I elected to not peel the potatoes and it worked fine. However, if serving for more than family I would take the time to peel for a prettier presentation only. Thanks for posting this recipe!

First noticed this because it's baked. Saved it and love it because it tastes so good! A little fresh chopped parsley improves the final presentation and gives it a great taste too.

Fantastic. I cooked the potatoes the day before, and that cut down on the prep time.

My family loved this. Made it for Christmas with baked ham. I ran out of time to bake it so I finished in the microwave. Kids and adults liked it. Leftovers are good the next morning warmed up with eggs, ham and toast. Planning to make this dish again soon.
