This is an authentic recipe from my Great Grandmother, and Grandma's, and it was one of my dad's favorite dishes, besides Grandma's mincemeat pie! Sadly, my Great Grandmother and Grandmama died both when I was barely 5 yrs. old. And sadder I recently lost my dad died when he was 61 yrs. old. I'm sharing this recipe in their memory, and I pray that someone somewhere will love this Kartoffelsalat recipe as much as my family did (not me though) and share with their loved ones. God Bless and happy cooking!
