Deluxe German Potato Salad image

I make this salad for all occasions-it goes well with any kind of meat. I often take this salad to potlucks, and there's never any left over. The celery, carrots and dry mustard are a special touch not usually found in traditional German potato salad. -Betty Perkins, Hot Springs, Arkansas

This potato salad was just okay. The potatoes were a bit bland and the dressing was too vinegary for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different type of vinegar or added some more sugar.

Yum! This was a delicious and easy side dish. I made it for a potluck and it was a big success. The potatoes were creamy and flavorful, and the dressing was the perfect balance of tangy and sweet. I will definitely be making this again.
