This was a recipe that my mom, Marcia Kelnhofer, used to make for us in the summer. My dad, Claude, loved this recipe. I didn't care for it but as I grew I came to love it as well.

I usually made the traditional potato salad but this one was especially fun when we had German sausage with sauerkraut. A nice change of pace . . .
