Really enjoyed this potato salad! I left out the onions, otherwise made as specified. I loved the dressing and the corn was a great addition. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Had this for our July 4th bbq. DH really loved it and it reminded me of German potato salad I grew up eating - with corn added.
