There are as many variations of American potato salad as there is of German potato salad. when I grew up after the war in germany we would NEVER ever have eaten the warm slob that they sell in the US as German potato salad man that stuff is gross.....our was made with a few pieces of pickles, mayo,light on the onion, a bit of browned speck (beacon)and some real cream in the mayo to make it coat better... but never ever warm and sour slob...yuck.
