GERMAN POTATO SALAD

This is one of my very best warm potato salads I have ever had. Crunchy, luxuriously fluffy and tangy at the same time. So easy to make and ingredients that are readability available in the market, this bacon potato salad is one dish that has become a hit in the house! I love warm salads, they are so comforting sort of like soup on a cold dreary day. Potatoes and bacon go so well together, well bacon goes great with anything really. I decided to use skin on potatoes just to add a touch or texture and also potato skins are healthy as well so include them more in your diet. This German potato salad you can have it as a side or eat as the main dish since it is that filling.
