Greetings, Roadfooders!

Let me introduce all of you to a very special cuisine, from northwest Germany, Ostfriesland (East Frisia).

I guess it was not accurate because the one I am talking about had only a little crumbled bacon in it as far as meat content - the potatos did have a shiny gloss to them which I guess would have been the vinegar?

Greetings, PizzaNut!

The image, you have posted, looks very much like a combination of Kartoffelsalat and Wurstsalat...

Enjoy!

P.S. The Wurst in this salad is probably a "Krakauer" Wurst, a very popular Wurst here in Germany.

P.S.S.

There is also very thin sliced Radish in the image of the salad, you have posted, typical for a bavarian salad...

Greetings PizzaNut!

What you did describe, is the typical bavarian/southern germany potato-salad, without mayo...

I was born in München / Munich (Bavaria) in the year 1956, but I grew up in northern Germany, I prefer the Kartoffelsalat with Mayo.

Kind regards

One of the things I miss most about Yonkers, NY, where I grew up, was the German potato salad found at Lorenzen's Deli on Yonkers Ave.

It was the most perfect one I ever ate. I grew up on it like I did with NY pizza. It had no mayo - maybe vinegar with the slightest hint of sugar and lots of parsley and it had a real tang to it which I guess was the vinegar.

Do you know what I am talking about Michael?
