This German potato salad is unlike any other potato salad I’ve ever tried. I actually got the recipe from my younger brother Aaron. He made it in a high school cooking class and then brought the recipe home and made it for our family. I took the recipe to college with me and have been making it ever since.
I love the tangy sweet flavor combined with the salty bacon. My family is content to have it as a main dish, but you could also serve it with any type of meat.

Good evening! Have you tried this in the oven? If so, what temperature and for how long? Thank you.
No, I never have tried it in the oven. I’m sure it would work, but you’ll just have to experiment. I’d start at 350 degrees, and stir it every 15 minutes.
