Very nice! I only added pickle and I wish I had used a red onion. I think it would have been prettier. Looking forward to the leftovers! Reviewed for ZWT4.

GREAT, GREAT RECIPE, Debber ~ Very much enjoyed both making & eating this one! Since they are, perhaps optional, I decided to cut the mayo back to 1/2 cup & used 3 medium dills & 1 hard-cooked egg (didn't want to go entirely without these ingredients) & had a very nice salad! I did use 6 medium potatoes & 2 good-size onions (how's that for a measure!) & was richly rewarded! Definitely a keeper, & one I'll make regularly this summer! [Made & reviewed wile on tour in Germany during Zaar's World Tour 4]

OMG! OMG!!!!! I have been searching the internet HIGH and LOW searching for THIS Potato salad recipe!!! Although, I've never had this in the Bavarian area of Germany - I have had it in the Rhein (Frankfurt aM) area - and when I cried and begged for the recipe - I got a "a little of egg, a little onion, a little pickle", yeah, yeah, I get it. No one wants to tell me their secret recipe so they only state the obvious ingredients then make me go home and experiement to try to duplicated it. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for posting this Debber! This is darn close to the recipe I was attempting to get from friends in Germany. (The only reason this tastes different is the Mayonnaise we get here in the USA tastes different from the one in Europe. But sometimes you can find European mayonnaise and shops that sell European foods. It comes in a tube - like toothpaste and is called "Thomy". It is a bright yellow and white tube and is in the refrigerated section when you can buy European butter and milk products) Ha ha! Won't they be surprised when I make the potato salad for our next get together. I love this version so much, I don't even make the old, tradtional potato salad recipes anymore. This is so much better. Sometimes, I use conchicorns or gherkins instead of pickles or a mixture of all the above. You Rock for posting this Debber! To everone else: PLEASE MAKE THIS - This is to die for!!!!!!

Yummy! Yummy! Yummy! When ever we have a BBQ and my neighbour is invited we always ask her to bring her German Potato Salad. Although it's not the same as my neighbours it's very delicious. I 'marinated' it for about four hours and could not stand waiting any more as the smell was drifting around my kitchen. So I add soy mayo and pickles (left out the eggs) and scoffed it down for a late lunch. (Your quilting friend is correct the mayo could easy been left out as well). Thank you Debber
