While this cold salad has some elements of a traditional warm German potato salad, it is totally Americanized to suit my family's tastes. Great with grilled burgers, dogs, meats and poultry.

The recipe looks and sounds delicious! We actually went to a German lady (we call her German mom)'s place yesterday for a pot-luck. One of her German friend actually brought a simple German Potato Salad, it tasted great. But your recipe sounds even more delicious and sophisticated. Next time when we go to her place, will be making this German Potato Salad to impress them :-)
