I have been making german potato salad for years but I decided to try this recipe. My husband said it was the best I have ever made. It was even better the next day, cold.

At first, the vinegar overwhelmed the dish, but after an overnight in the fridge, it was fabulous, it was less acidic, more tangy, and gave the potatoes a fabulous kick.

I've always used red potatoes and red onion in my German Potato Salad; however, I followed this recipe and it was great!

This potato salad was wonderful - even better leftover. I reduced the sugar, as recommended by other reviewers and added real bacon bits to boost the bacon flavor without cooking additional slices. I also saved time by using sliced red potatoes (no peeling) and by substituting sliced green onions for the onions and parsley.

Made this for a friend who loves German food and he raved. I enjoyed it but I think I would add more vinegar, just as a personal taste, very good recipe

Wow! This is great. I cut the sugar 1/3, as someone had mentioned it was sweet; it's easier to add more. I doubled the sauce (as someone else had suggested) by halving the potatoes. That means, 1.5 lbs. red potatoes w/the rest of the ingredients. I forgot to peel the potatoes. Mistake! The peels come off when everything mixes together, so don't make my mistake. My husband loved this, too, but prefers next time I slice, not dice, the potatoes. I hate German food, and I don't know what possessed me to taste this, but once I did I wanted to eat the whole batch at once. It's heavenly, and I'll be making it again and again. Thakns so much!!!

This recipe is extremely similar in taste to a well-known German restaurant in the area owned and run by older German immigrants. To make this recipe more like the restaurant's, I boiled about 3.5 lbs. unpeeled red potatoes until tender. Drained them, rinsed in cold water, and added ice cubes to the colander to speed the cooling process. When cool, I sliced them (not thin). I doubled the dressing ingredients, but only used 2 tbsp. of sugar...my husband and I thought it still tasted too sweet, so next time I will try just 1 tbsp. (even with doubling the dressing ingredients.) I also didn't add parsley. We had enough for two meals, and the potatoes tasted just as good the next night re-heated in the microwave.

EXCELLENT! This is a must try recipe for all. Goes great with wurst, but will also make a nice side for any meal. Sliced potatoes instead of dicing, and made the night before, then reheated... came out great.

My husband is from German descent, and I am always trying to find recipes that remind him of his childhood. I had never made German potato salad before because I could never find a recipe that didn't call for mustard, (my husband is deathly allergic). This recipe not only brought back memories of his great-grandmother's recipe, but introduced my stepdaughter to authentic German foods. Thank you so much for sharing this WONDERFUL recipe, I can't wait to make it again.

This was a fabulous recipe. Exactly what I think of with German Potato Salad. I used turkey bacon and thickened the sauce a little with 1 t flour and 1 T milk before adding it to the potatoes.

Good, but I prefer the Hot German Potato Salad recipe I've used for years from the Betty Crocker cookbook which adds celery seeds.

I made this in a cast iron skillet and put it in the oven while my pork chops were baking. The potatoes browned a little and it really set the flavors My husband has already asked for me to fix it again!

Boil the potatoes in the jacket the night before, they will taste better and one can slice them (not cubed), add a little ground carawayseeds and mustard to your seasoning of p.-salad, you come closer to a authentic German potatoe salad.

yummy! I brought this to a friend's BBQ and everyone kept talking about how good it was, and insisted that I would be bringing it again!!! I actually doubled the recipe, but accidentally peeled 8 cups worth of potatoes. I doubled the other ingredients exactly and added a little extra bacon as well. It was so good and pretty!!!

I have been wanting to make German Potato Salad for years and never knew how. I picked this one and I am so glad that I did! However I used more bacon than called for. I didn't have fresh parsley so I threw in some dried parsley and then I sprinkled in just a little celery seed. I also used white vinegar as called for and not cider vinegar as some other recipes used. It was so good that I will probably never make traditional potato salad again. This is a lot easier too! I printed this and added it to my recipe notebook! This is a keeper! I can't wait to make this for company! If I could have given it more than five stars I would have!

This is so delicious! A sweet and sour type hot potato salad. Leftovers disappear quickly too. This is my stepson's favorite. (Well, mine too) I've made this several times, always to rave reviews. Very easy to do, usually all ingredients on hand, definitely a keeper.

I gave this three stars, because I liked it, but everyone else thought "it was just okay" and didn't go back for seconds. I followed the recipe exactly, but it's just not as good as some of our German restaurants here. I used white wine vinegar, so maybe next time I'll use cider vinegar. Perhaps that was the problem. Better luck next time...
