Family Recipe Friday - German Potato Salad

This old-fashioned recipe hails from my German Grandmother. Ruth was born in Canada, but lived in the German community of Kitchener, Ontario. She was in  fact a third generation Canadian, but the German influences of her ancestors were evident throughout her home and in her cooking. This is a popular recipe among her descendants.
