Need a recipe that won't give your friends and family raging food poisoning from your mayonnaise based potato salad sitting on a table for a couple of hours, offering safe have to every food borne bacteria known to man...the answer my friends is German Potato salad.
Don't be mistaken, German Potato salad is no poor substitute for traditional potato salad. In addition to the lowered risk of post-picnic illness German potato salad is a lower calorie option to its full fat mayonnaise cousin.

No German Potato salad is no red-headed stepchild. Oh yeah and it has BACON , so it's gonna be delicious
