Hot German Potato Salad

Hot German Potato Salad


A potato salad is always a comfort food that can be had any time of the day and the carbs are a real pick me up, specially when the weekend is still a day later... Yes, This is the salad which has given me a lot of support ever since I first had it on the fist day of my life's first Convention Lunch.  The boring long lectures, immediately changed into something very informative. Well jokes apart friends. This salad has saved my back and my prestige as a good cook as number of times. So I diced to share my good old friend with all my great friends out there.
