Hot German Potato Salad

Christmas Carol's Note:

Can't go wrong with Betty! Crocker, that is. This is just so delicious that I make it quite often. It's wonderful with pork chops, wienerschnitzel (did I spell that right?), or just by itself. Flavorful with just the right amount of tanginess!

I'm a believer! The recipe I use is extremely similar to this. This is one I don't deviate from the ingredients. However, I never make the normal amount, even as a sidedish with lunch/supper. My family and friends demand this for get-together events. For these, I use 5 lbs, sometimes up to 15 lbs of potatoes. Any leftovers? Maybe, but then they're fought over for take-home!!

It's a keeper!

It's easy and inexpensive to make and tastes great. The family loved it. I used canned potatoes which cut the cooking time to about 15 minutes.
