I know there is a debate as to what constitutes "real" German potato salad. All I know is that this is TOO tasty! For those of you who shy away from German Potato salad because it is too vinegary, try this. It has converted MANY people as the balance is darn near perfect. Prep time does not include boiling the potatoes.

One million stars! My German friends swore I hi-jacked their mother's recipe! This was great with brats in beer and Marinated Coleslaw (marinated cole slaw). Guests piled the slaw onto the brats and some put the potato salad on the brats as well. Enjoyed by everyone at our party!

Hi Michelle! This is a wonderful german potato salad. We loved it! I had some left over ham that needed to be used up and this was a perfect side dish to go with it. The vinegar, sugar, water and flour amounts were perfect for this dish. I have put this in my "keeper" notebook. Thank you for sharing and also thank your Mother!!!!

I made sauerkraut and sausage for dinner tonight, but I didn't have a clue what to serve with it. I found this recipe and decided to give it a try. I was a little worried though because I don't usually like sweet tastes in certain dishes (seems wrong in potatoes) and my husband isn't big on vinegar. I made it in spite of this and I am so glad I did. I loved it and so did the rest of my family. It was also very easy to make. We will definitely be having it again soon! Thanks so much.
