This is another one of those recipes I thought were authentic and came straight from a German neighbor or something. Until I found it in the Betty Crocker cookbook my mom handed down to me. It's so great and so good. I always think you could use more sauce with it. So, if you want to feel free. I love that the Germans flavor their food with bacon grease. Who cares about fat content, right? :)

This sounds really good. I have alot of potatoes that I need to use up so this will be perfect! By the way, my husband makes fun of me for saving my bacon grease in a cup but it adds so much flavor to whatever you cook in it!
Bryan loves this potato salad. The best part is serving it warm. Yummy! You have this is your cookbook you made and we have used the recipe for like two years. It is so good!
I made this last night to go with our brats and it was perfect! I do remember seeing this recipe in your cookbook and I wish I would have made it sooner!
Josh will love this! I will have to make this soon.
