Authentic German Potato Salad image

This authentic German potato salad recipe came from Speck's Restaurant, which was a famous eating establishment in St. Louis from the 1920s through the '50s. I ate lunch there almost every day and always ordered the potato salad. When the owner learned I was getting married, he gave me the recipe as a wedding gift! -Violette Klevorn, Washington, Missouri
