I'd always loved my German grandmother's potato salad. So when I married a potato farmer—and had spuds in abundance—I played with several recipes that sounded similar and came up with this salad that reminds me of hers. — Sue Hartman, Parma, Idaho

Delicious! Next time I need to thicken the sauce more, but it was good.

I have made this many times over the years - it's our family favorite! I do add a few more slices of bacon, because we love it! This is tangy deliciousness!

Very good recipe for German Potato Salad... I did add more bacon (the more bacon the better!) and I cubed the potatoes rather than slicing them... Seemed easier that way...

I have made this twice and received compliments both times. I added 3/4 cup of chopped celery to this recipe. I also used Splenda sugar substitute instead of sugar for my diabetic sister. She loved it!
