This was a good potato salad, but the vinegar flavor went beyond "zing" to "tart." A little too much for me to really love it.

This recipe is very good and authentic! A couple hints though...German potato salad is supposed to be a little tangy, so just be cognizant that it won't be sweet. Use good mayo, cheap stuff can really ruin a good recipe! Lastly, I let mine sit for two days in the fridge (I made it ahead of time for a party)...the flavor just got better everyday, let yours sit for at least a day, it makes a huge difference.

Really great! The first time I made it I let it sit overnight and everyone finished it at the party. It went fast. Many requests to make again!

This was the first potato salad that I made, and it was great. Made for an Octoberfest party at a friends house, and this was the first dish to go.

Very authentic, dissapeared very quickly at our annual Oktoberfest and I used 10 pounds of potatos. Absolutely deliscious! I let is sit for 24 hours in the fridge, flavor was superb!

very good. Next time I will chop the onion very fine and use a little less onion so as not to have the "oniony bite"

I don't particularly like 'real German' potato salad. I made this for Oktoberfest and it was a hit. All my Austrian friends and family loved it.

My boyfriend loves potato salad. I tried this recipe as a change of pace and he can't stop talking about it. He said this is the best potatoe salad he has ever had. The only changes I made were to cut the oil in half and toss in crumbled bacon. Thanks for the great recipe.

Excellent recipe. I used a combination of red and russet potatoes with sweet onion. I kept all of the ratios the same. Just what I was looking for!

Overall a good recipe. If I make it again I will only add 1/2 the vinegar and a cup of mayo. It seemed to be missing something. I might add some more pepper and onion powder.

I made it using 1/2 the vinegar. Added dried dill, chopped onion and celery, salt and pepper. I have eaten half of it already! It has mellowed as the day wears on. The dressing seemed very soupy but the potatoes must soak it up. I had refrigerated the boiled potatoes overnight, so I heated them up in the microwave,chopped them up and then added the dressing. I also added 2 chopped hard boiled eggs.

this is an excellent recipe, i grew up with my grandmother making german potato salad, and it wasn't like the think type you find in the stores. This recipe is as close to it as I've come. I didn't have any parsley on hand, so i used 2tsp of dried dill...wonderful!

This was my first attempt at making potato salad. I followed everything exactly and it was a disaster. I cooked the potatoes for 15 minutes, which ended up being way to long. In the end, I had lumpy mashed potatoes with a wierd vinegary flavor. I took it to 3 different gatherings and no one would eat it. Embarrassing! Thanks anyway though.

This was really, really good! I followed the recipe exactly, and wouldn't change a thing, except I am thinking I might add a little dill next time. Also, be sure to let it sit at least an hour before serving (the longer the better!). The initial taste isn't nearly as good as after this has had time to sit a while. Thanks for sharing!

This was a very good recipe that I had to tweak a bit as I was trying to recreate my Mom's potato salad. I at first did not add the sugar but this resulted in a too tangy taste so I mixed up a couple of tblsp mayo with the 2 tblsp of white sugar and stirred that in. Perfect----I also added sour cream and did not use the oil---seemed like overkill with the mayo, and Mom never used oil in hers. Topped with fresh chopped parsley. Next time I will add some celery and red onion for a bit more kick.

Awesome. Reminds me of the store-bought version in Germany (this is a compliment), which I didn't think I could copy! Now, I can make my favourite store-bought at home. And it's so easy. I like to heat the chopped onion and dressing in the microwave and pour this warm dressing over cooled potatoes. Less chance of turning to mush.

I overcooked the potatoes a little, so it was similar to a mashed potato salad, BUT got rave reviews and EVERYONE wants the recipe. Will definitely make again. Was very quick, oh so easy, and satisfying.
