I'm trying to watch my carbs, but I love the sweet & tangy taste of German Potato salad. So here is my low carb version.

This has no eggs or mayo so is great for picnics and cookouts since it doesn't have to be refrigerated. We make it the day before to really meld the flavor. Great-Grandfather Bornkessel, a waiter, brought this recipe with him when he left Germany, worked in Switzerland then came to USA. Super high in potassium if you are restricted be careful.

a tangly oil and vinegar dressing replaces mayonnaise.

low carb low fat

great for a summer picnic!

Good summer potato salad to take on picnics.

One of my childhood favorites. My Nana learned it from her mother-in-law in the 1920's. She used 6 bacon strips fried crispy and then sauteed her onion in some of the fat; I've made it a little healthier with the bacon bits and sauteing the onions in a pam-sprayed skillet.

This is the doubled version of Grandma's recipe.

Lower fat version, could also use artificial sweetner

German potato salad should be served warm or hot.

easy to prepare

A relatively healthy version!

This potato salad is very satisfying, yet lighter than some versions. Less bacon, more vinegar.

This is a warm potato salad

This is a very tangy and meaty potato salad, served warm, that will knock your socks off!

Like Schmidt's

Boil the potatoes (with skins on) and the eggs until done. While the potatoes and eggs are cooking you can dice up the celery and onion into a fairly large bowl. Let the potatoes and eggs cool, then dice them up as well into the same bowl with the celery and onions. You can leave the skins on the potato if you like. Once everything is chopped you can mix it up with a 1/2 cup of miracle whip and a 1/2 cup of light mayo. Mix everything together and salt and pepper to taste. Lastly, add the vinegar and stir thoroughly and refrigerate until cool. I like mine very tangy so I put more vinegar depending on taste.

This recipe is as close as I can get to the German Potato Salad from Shapiro's Deli in Indianapolis. You may want to use olive oil instead of the bacon grease to make it healthier.
