I’ve found that cooking the (scrubbed) potatoes in their skins then peeling gives a better flavor.
Interesting tip! I’ll have to try it next time and see if I notice a difference.
Hi,
Just found this recipe. I’ve never made German potato salad before but can’t wait to try it! Wondered when making it as a side when grilling, how many people do you expect to serve with this amount?
Thanks!
Julie~well of course it depends on how big a serving each person takes. But with 6 cups of potatoes 6 people could have a 1 cup portion, which would be a pretty big helping of potato salad!
love this one too!! I’m not a fan of the mayo based salads but I love German potato salad!
