German potato salad: (n)
– the total opposite of your mama’s potato salad.
The other day, when I didn’t know what to make for dinner (again! ) my hubby requested my “German baked pork chops” , and I got to chose the side.
I never made this type of potato salad before, but I thought it went well with the main dish, and I was too lazy to make spatzle.
Where I got this recipe from is not the “norm” of the Internet or online…
Tee-hee.
Anyway, those of you that have not ever had German potato salad- here’s what it’s like:
It’s served warm.
No mayonnaise.
Vinegar-y.
Onion-y.
and… I added crisp bacon. So… mine is bacon-y.
It’s also taste-y.
