It is believed to have originated in the southern region of Germany, and there are many variations of the recipe throughout the country. The classic German Potato Salad is typically served warm or at room temperature, and it has a sweet and sour taste due to the use of vinegar in the dressing.

  • Add some sliced hard-boiled eggs on top for a pop of color and protein.
  • If serving it warm, place the bowl in a larger bowl filled with hot water to keep it warm. This will ensure that everyone can enjoy it at the perfect temperature.
