Microwave German Potato Salad

By: Barbara Erdmann

"Microwave German Potato Salad has big flavor for a quick salad. 'The first time I tried this easy side dish I was impressed I had to have the recipe,' recalls Barbara Erdmann of West Allis, Wisconsin. 'That's what happens to most people who taste it. It's a time-saver when I need a salad for a summer get-together."
