German Potato Salad
My German Potato Salad recipe or Kartoffelsalat is the style of potato salad you find in the southern part of Germany and is made with lots of bacon, herbs and a coarse grain mustard vinaigrette. Since I was a kid, this has been one of my favorite potato recipes and I love making it for cookouts. The bacon, mustard, and vinegar give these potatoes a really bold flavor, perfect for roasted meats and barbeque.
