I enjoyed this potato salad but I will tweak it a bit as I found it too liquidy. I think by cutting the vinegar a bit it will help.

We really loved this recipe. I made a few minor changes. I used 2T Balsamic Vin. (and subtracted it from the Cider Vin.) and sauted the onions instead of adding them raw. I used several kinds of small potatoes which made the salad even better. I would pour the dressing over the potatoes instead of adding the potatoes to the dressing. We added the potato salad to mixed greens and made a meal of them. I think you'll be really pleased with this one.

I have a friend from Germany who makes great potato salad. She told me the ingredients but no measurements. I found this recipe here and it is the same. I think hers is better but it was still good. A little more vinegar tasting than I prefer so next time I think I will reduce the amt. Otherwise very good though. And it does taste better after it sits a while.

this was a great recipe. i smashed my potatoes instead of slicing. also i halved the recipe as well since there's only two at my dinner table. i would prefer a less vinegar flavor, but that's a personal thing. my husband, who eats vinegar on all veggies, thought it was was excellent.

I love the dressing but I didn't like it with the raw onion.

This was wonderful. I ran out of regular vinegar so I used 1/4 cup of balsalmic and then I ran out of sugar, so I used splenda. I also didn't peel the potatoes to increase the fiber content of the dish. Delicious result!

This was a really good recipe. I used quartered red potatoes and it came out great. Definitely better the 2nd day...the vinegar aftertaste goes away completely after it sits in the fridge overnight.

I made this for an Oktoberfest party, and my friend from Germany raved that it was the first time he'd had "German Potato Salad" in America that actually tasted like his grandmother's. He vetoed the "gentle stirring" and mashed it like a dervish, claiming that was how it was supposed to be -- so if yours comes out more like mashed potatoes than salad, just tell your guests you're being extremely authentic.

Thank you so very much for this wonderful recipe. It is easy, and very pleasing to my whole family. In fact my son that doesn't even cook, asked how to do this, and he is able to make this one come out every time. It is perfect and one of my favorite's. A+ You can leave the potato skins on as well, it gives it a nice looks as well....

It had a nice vinegar taste, but it was liquidy. Is that how it's supposed to be?

This recipe is really good served with sauerkraut. Just watch how long you cook the potatoes. The first time I cooked this dish, I cooked the potatoes the full 15 minutes and the potatoes turned to mush.

LOVED IT ~ JUST PREPPED THIS FOR MEMORIAL DAY LUNCH. I USED RED POTATOES & LEFT THE SKIN ON FOR MORE COLOR & USED A YELLOW ONION. I ALTERED NOTHING ELSE. GREAT TASTE, VINEGAR AMOUNT WAS PERFECT TO ME, NOT TOO SWEET, NOT TOO SOUR =) A DEFINITE PLAN TO MAKE THIS IN THE NEAR FUTURE!

This wasnt at all what I think of when I think of German Potato salad..It was rather bland and I didn't like the mayo base. Noone in my family ate much of it.

Guests all loved it! Made and hour before and let it sit out on the table. Smelled scarily vinegary in the beginning but after it blended together tasted great.

This was the best potato salad I have ever made. I took another reviewers advice and used red potatos without peeling and added a half a cup of bacos. Then longer it sits the tastier it gets...two thumbs up!
