Great Recipe!
I am not one to eat potato salad, but this sounded really good. I am not a mayo person, so I am always a bit shy of various salads like this, but this mustard based salad was great, even if I was missing the flour..which made it a bit less exciting. I recommend this to anyone!

Great Potato Salad!
I made this recipe for the first time this last weekend. My whole family loved this version and I will be making it again this weekend.

Great Side Dishes
I made this dish along with the Crispy-Coated Chicken and it was fabulous. My family eats a lot of potatoes and it was very nice to get a change of pace. I really enjoyed the flavor and the ingredients were things that we already had in our cabinets. Very easy.

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.
