(I think I've had bites of too many that seemed more like mayo with bits of potato tossed in. I don't know about you, but I'm not a fan of eating mayo with a spoon.)Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17468276901563947172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452621549434169941.post-25430115273299109272013-03-19T07:30:54.952-07:002013-03-19T07:30:54.952-07:00This looks so great and reminds me of potato salad...This looks so great and reminds me of potato salad from the grocery store as a kid that my mom never wanted me to have.

My mom modifies it by using just a tablespoon of the bacon grease and mixing a little more of the other ingredients in until it tastes right.

I also like to throw in some gherkins or chopped up dill pickle for extra crunch in either type of potato salad.

I was traumatized by my grandmother's German potato salad (watery vinegar, overcooked russets, sad chunks of celery) so I was really skeptical of trying out a vinegar based recipe, but now I understand what the Germans are going for. Also, that my grandmother shouldn't be allowed to cook.
