This is a great potato salad if you are looking for a change from mayo based recipes. Based on the recommendations of other users, I decreased sugar to 2 tbsps and poured the sauce over the potatoes. I also subbed with turkey bacon and cider vinegar and left the peels on the red potaotes. Next time, I will double the sauce.

I added hard boiled eggs and served it cold and it was good that way too.

So tired of people commenting that a recipe is not "authentic." Who decides?? Is it possible that two differnet "authentic" German people could make potato salad differently?? Get over yourselves!! For the record, I asked my authentice German neighbor (born and reared in Germany, married an American soldier 16 years ago then came to America) about this recipe, which I found to be delicious. She said it is very similar to what her 100% authentic German mother made and still makes, excepting the parsley, less sugar, and more onion.

This was absolutely perfect. The only change was adding a little celery seed, and about a sprinkle of flour to thicken it. I used tiny new potatoes unpeeled, and cut them in half after they were tender. Even hubby, who is picky about his German Potato Salad, really loved this.

I cut back the sugar...added green scallions at the end with the bacon. I don't like peeled potatoes, this potato salad is supposed to be quick and rustic. I even cooked my potatoes in the microwave (stab them with a knife). The same taste as my oma always made.

I made it today and have had German Potato Salad in Germany and my Grandmothers when I was a little girl and like many recipes, there are many versions for various tastes! This recipe is delicious - not too sweet - not too tart! Perfect! (I did add a little celery seed)

this is a awesome sidedish! I have never had german potato salad, so wasn't sure what to expect, but wanted a different potato dish for dinner... I followed the recipe exactly, have made it numerous times now it is a family fav.. I boil the potatoes with the skin on, then let them sit on the counter to cool. when they are cool enough to touch, I peel the skins off.. I definitely use *more* bacon! the vinegar/water ratio is perfect. these also make amazing hashbrowns for breakfast the next day, just throw them in the frying pan with a tsp of coconut oil/olive oil and some ore fresh herbs. a keeper!

I loved it! Took it to a friends house with some schwenkbraten and they loved it too! Very tasty and a nice change from the cold potato salad that we are used to.
