    Very Good
    Instead of cucumbers, I use pickles in my version of this recipe and I add some Maggi beef instant bullion to the potato cooking water for even more flavor. - 4/26/11

    Incredible!
    This is how my mother and Oma made German potato salad, but they are both from the Swabia region where people don't like their food as "sauer" as those from the northern regions do. LOVE this recipe!!! We use red wine vinegar and EVOO for added health benefits. - 4/12/10
