My mom's Cold German Potato Salad had raw egg in it and I have never found a recipe for anything like it. This was very good although a little putzy - why cook down the onion? I may have cooked the onion too long - wasn't sure about "Sauté onion in water and butter till high simmer." There was no liquid left for the bullion to dissolve into. Anyway, I made it work!

I made this recipe for the first time to serve at a tailgate prior to a Michigan football yesterday. I had six guests, five of which are from Germany. They all said my "Hausgemachter Deutscher Kartoffelsalat" was "lecker!!" THIS RECIPE IS PERFECT. Follow it precisely, and you will not be disappointed.
