Grandma Sharon’s Famous German Potato Salad

Happy Labor Day Weekend, y’all! My Grandma Sharon’s German potato salad is LEGENDARY. I kid you not, my dad talks about this exact recipe ALL the time. Potato salad is such an iconic summer dish. While my Aunt Laura’s potato salad is my all time favorite, this superstar potato salad is a close runner up. This is the perfect side for a cook out/barbecue this weekend!
