When I was little, Mother & I would go to downtown Milwaukee to Schuster's Department store on the trolly....yes, the trolly! We would shop and get ring bologna and their famous German Potato salad to have for our dinner. Years later someone in the family was given what was supposed to be their recipe for the salad. I've tinkered with it, and this is the final result. My family and friends say it is better than any other they have ever had...anywhere, anytime!
