Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Sweet-and-sour is a popular flavor blend in German cooking. It's what makes German potato salad “German.”
  • tip 2
    Add a bit of zip—let smoked peppered bacon stand in for the regular version.
  • tip 3
    This potato salad is a fantastic accompaniment to Bavarian-Style Beef Roast and Sauerkraut.
