This certainly is an authentic German Potato Salad. The Germans love their Potato Salad. I was served a salad just like this on Christmas day when I was an exchange student there. I will never forget it because I didn't think that potato salad was a worthy dish for Christmas. But they did and that's all that mattered as I was there to learn about their culture. I love German food!

I've been searching for an 'authentic' "Hot German Potato Salad" for a long time, and I think that I've finally found it...thanks! My mother-in-law was German, and she made a delicious one, but I was a very young bride and I never bothered to learn how to make it from her (big mistake). I can't wait to make this one for our up-coming Memorial Day cookout.
