Hot German potato salad

[amf1234]

I would like to try making hot German potato salad .When I searched it there were over 600 recipe !!!! Seeing as I have never made this I don't even know what ingredients I want to include or aviod. I do know the stuff that comes in a can is nasty. Does any one have a old family recipe they would like to share. THANKS IN ADVANCE ...................AMF

I usually compare recipes to see what the most common ingredients are, and take it from there. Try recipe search here and see which sounds the most appealing to you. I think the last time I made it I might have started with a recipe from Better Homes and Gardens cookbook...at least I know that's what I used the very first time I ever made it eons ago!

Never saw it in a can, who knew?

Here in Wisconsin you can find it at deli counters and some restaurants. Usually at a friday fish fry you are more likely to find it served. Each place seems to have its own style. Friday fish fries are common in Wisconsin. Some of the best are at taverns, Elks, VFW etc. clubs.

I never heard of it till I moved to Wisc. Funny, considering I grew up in a German/Nordski area in Minnesota. LOL.

That is ironic, isn't it??? I think I stumbled across the recipe because I hated my mothers "regular" potato salad so much...ANYTHING had to be better than that!!!

Sure enough, it was!

Not sure she ever forgave me.......

So K. Slink, do you make the sweet or the sour type? I prefer the sweet myself, and I like it served with a nice creamy slaw and perch. LOL.

Hmmmmm, I thought that it all WAS sweet 'n sour! I guess I'd have to say sweet, though...you know pastry types, always trying to sneak some sugar in anyplace that we can...

Hi amf1234, Thank you so much. I always got a positive response when I made it, but you never know. Everyone's tatses are different. Some like more sweet or sour, but you can always adjust. When I used to bring it to work, I would keep it in a crock pot and it held up very well. Again, thanks for responding back, some people do not and one never knows if it worked for them or not. Not just my recipe, but others as well.
