This was very good!! The only change I made was to add Agave nectar instead of sugar. It doesn't change the taste. I have diabetes so Agave nectar works great for me!!! I will make this recipe again for sure!!!

Absolutely wonderful! I don't care if it is Authentic or not. Everyone of my American family members loved it and they usually don't care for German potato salad. I did add a extra tablespoon of water. The vinegar is not too strong.

This is sooo good! I didnt change a thing. My young son didnt like it but my teenager did so it may not appeal to younger eaters.

Everyone loves when I make this dish! My grandfather (who has been a professional chef longer than I have been alive) even told me it was DIVINE! I do cut back a bit on the sugar, and add a bit more vinegar, but I couldn't tell you the amounts. I have made this so many times, I can just eyeball it now. Don't hesitate to give this a try!

Good flavor & easy. I substituted with green onions & only cooked them for a short time. My husband even enjoyed this & he is not a fan of German potato salad at all!

I'm from Stuttgart, Germany and this is not how we make potato salad. We cook the whole potatoes and peel them while they are still hot. In Stuttgart we slice the potatoes very thin. We add some broth, vinegar and oil, salt, pepper and diced onions. Absolutely no sugar. You can add some sliced boiled eggs on top of the salad for decor. No heating up the potato salad. We serve it cold. I did not know that potato salad was served warm until I came to the USA

Although good, German's don't put sugar and most don't add bacon - we add Speck - which is still pork, but not so flat (especially here in Stuttgart). But it's a good Kartoffelsalat.

Very much like my grandmother's recipe. She added a tablespoon of flour to the fat after cooking the onions to make a thin roux. This gives the sauce a more gravy-like texture.
