Hot German Potato Salad

Terrible! I was very happy to see a recipe for Hot German Potato Salad that was more healthy. Our family comes from a long line of excellent "German" cooks. Hot German potato salad is not normally very healthy with all of that bacon grease in it. I tried this for the 4th of July and not ONE person at the gathering liked it nor would eat it. I landed up throwing the whole thing away. German potato salad does NOT have mustard in it. Do not even bother to try this recipe.
