German Potato Salad

374.  My family tree is comprised of a percentage of German heritage on my mother's side.  Her mom was a culinary genius who prepared meals for hundreds of people, was a personal chef and just made amazing meals for her family of 5.  I'm grateful for this heritage, love of food preparation well honored and maintained.  So when you suggest foods from the hub of Europe where Germany lies in the center, that is what I know and love as food I grew up with.  Potatoes, cabbage, sausage, pickles, more potatoes, luncheon meats, fresh vegetables, homemade breads and pastries, soup stock and the list trails on.

This recipe for German Potato Salad was delicious and I wanted to pass it along.

Yukon Gold potatoes are always a great choice and they seem to bring a richer flavor and color to any recipe incorporated in.  It's a rich buttery taste.  The paprika also gives this salad a warm color and flavor.

Here is my recipe to save by selecting and dragging to your desktop or printing from your smart device.

The onions will wilt when you heat the potatoes but will still maintain their crunch.  Stir gently by using a spatula to go around the potatoes pulling up from the bottom.  The potatoes will want to stick together so lightly separate them apart as you stir.

German Potato Salad is a wonderful addition with chicken, pork or along side summer favorites like Brats or Sausages.  If you've never tasted this salad, I think it will be a unique surprise.  And become a great substitute for your family members who don't like mayonnaise in a salad.
