I make this salad for all occasions—it goes well with any kind of meat. I often take this salad to potlucks, and there's never any leftover. The celery, carrots and dry mustard are a special touch not usually found in traditional German potato salad. —Betty Perkins, Hot Springs, Arkansas

I frowned at the 1 cup of sugar recipe but was really surprised by the taste, very flavorful. Next time I'm going to try to reduce the sugar in half & see how that tastes maybe even try a sugar supplement. But the taste was worth the one cup of sugar. Thank you.

lilygirl - I agree, too much sugar. I will substitute with 1/2 cup honey.

I have been making this potato salad since it was first published in the 90's. I still have the cut out recipe! I do slice and cut the potatoes in half double the bacon and of course double the sauce! A forever recipe....
