Comfy Cuisine- Home Recipes from Family & Friends: Warm German Potato Salad

by •

I just can’t seem to bring myself to get rid of old, handwritten recipes, from relatives and friends who have  passed, even though I have them here on my computer.  I came across a web site, purely by chance, when comparing this recipe for  Grandma S.’s Warm German Potato Salad.  I don’t know how old the recipe is.  
It’s barely legible now, all stained and faded,   I have used this recipe ever since I received it, and it’s the best I’ve found so far. I am posting this exactly as written.
