mother hohman's potato salad
(1 RATING)
My German mother-in-law used this recipe. It isn't German exactly but has a vinegar flavor that makes you think German. She always made it with just potatoes. I tried adding celery ,radishes and eggs so it resembled what I was used to but those ingredients diminished the flavor and it wasn't as good. She used Miracle Whip and that gave it a tang that other dressings didn't have. I tried it with light Miracle Whip but the regular is better. Enjoy!
