Hearty and saucy, this potato salad is an old family recipe that wasupdated using cream of potato soup to ease preparation. The sausage, and sauerkraut give it a special zip.—Teresa McGill, Trotwood, Ohio

This is just the type of food to make my hubby glad to come home. I am going to add some carrot chunks next time just to play a little. I made it with my homemade kraut so I doubled the recipe from the soup down since my kraut is in quart cans. Worked great. Thank you to the author!

This will be my go to recipe for German potato salad. It uses less sugar and tastes better than other recipes I've tried. Did I mention the aroma is wonderful?

Good, but could be improved. I found it too soupy and had to drain a lot of liquid off. And the sodium level is through the roof thanks to the processed soup. It's good. It just needs tweaking.

I thought it was very good and will make this recipe again. The next time I make it will plan on reducing the amount of potatoes and increasing the sauerkraut, my personal taste bud's. But I thought the entire dish was full of flavor and relatively easy to make.

I love this recipe!! My parents do too. My husband doesn't love it, but it is just different taste preferences.
