Potato Salad

Submitted by Kayne

"I made this up over the years, using various tips and techniques that people have given - all around the world - Australia, Germany and the US. Most people seem to like it, but this is one of those dishes where everyone makes it "the best". So let me just say, I like it and generally won't eat any other. Mmmm! Isn't that what I said in a previous sentence?"

Both DH and I thought this was just OK. We prefer either having a true German potato salad or an American potato salad but not mixed together. I also decreased the amount of milk/vinegar because it was getting to soupy. I had to add lots of mayonnaise to try and thicken it up. I sprinkled mine with cayenne peppers. Thanks for letting me try your recipe. :)

I enjoyed this potato salad and so did my daughter and her friend! I did make some adjustments-I doubled the potatoes, but only used the 1/2 cup milk and 1/4 cup vinegar. The salad was a little bit vinagery for me, so next time, would cut the vinegar back even more. I also only used the 2 tbls. mustard and opted for the paprika. Added a little celery. All in all, a very nice potato salad. Thanks Kayne!
