Wow Tom, this IS a great recipe for German Potato Salad! I didn't even expect it to be as good as it is, but the bacony flavor is just wonderful, I love the dressing. I did add 1/2 cup of diced celery for crunch, and 1/2 dozen chopped eggs and it was perfect for us. It was really good without the celery and eggs, this is just my family's preferences. Thank-you for the Excellent recipe! We Will be making this one again!

I enjoy cooking and have done so for the past 30 years. I worked in several food service areas before moving on to a non-cooking job. Cooking has become a hobby of mine and one I enjoy very much. I enjoy creating new recipes. I have several very good recipes from my grandmother, who by the way has taught me everythig I know about cooking. I have many recipes that I have collected over the years. I will try to post as many of them as I can over the course of time. Please view them.
