Authentic German Potato Salad

breezermom's Note:

This is best served hot, but equally good cold! This is an authentic german recipe...everyone says it is the best! It is also great cooked ahead of time and then microwaved...it gives the flavors time to blend.

Made for Spring Pick a Chef 2011 and I am glad I did. I made this to go along with your Horseradish Meatloaf#434823 and a vegetable and we had a fabulous meal that DH and his dad could only mumble yummmmm. I sliced the potatoes instead of dicing and used some regular onions and some slivered green onions for a little more color along with fresh parsley. The flavors were right on. Not too tart or sweet. Definately going into my Favorites of 2011.

Just like Grandma used to make! Lovely potato salad--and it was gobbled up by all. Made for Football Pool, 2010.
