German Potato Salad with Sausage
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 30 min. Cook: 6 hours
YIELD: 5 servings.
Hearty and saucy, this potato salad is an old family recipe that was updated using cream of potato soup to ease preparation. Despite the “salad” name, this is a hot and filling dish that brings comfort food to the supper. The sausage and sauerkraut give it a special zip.
