There are so many different versions of this salad and this is one of my favorites. Warm Potato salad can become really heavy, but if the ingredients are set up right it can taste refreshing. Whenever you do a Barbecue or just a normal side dish, then I would recommend cooking this recipe.
This salad goes well with meat and especially with sausage like Bratwurst.
