German Potato Salad

October 1st, 2009

This past week I have been posting recipes from my parents visit. Today is no different. Over the weekend my Dad and I barbecued and my Mom made all of the sides. One of the best was the German Potato salad. My Mom made this and I had to have the recipe. Of all of the sides that we had, it was the first of all of the side to be completely eaten.
