When she cooked for the family up at our camp (the summer cabin for those non-Adirondacker's!), she always made cold German potato salad. There was no recipe, just eyeball and taste. I've come close, but never seem to get it exactly right. Rose's German Potato Salad 2 lbs. waxy potatoes, boiled in their jackets and cooled 1/2 med yellow onion, sliced in fine wedges and separated 2 stalks of celery with leaves, diced small 2-3 Tbsp salad oil 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar 1 Tbsp water Salt and Pepper to taste Carefully peel potatoes after they have cooled and slice into 3/16" (3-4 mm) slices. Add the oil, onion, celery and water and carefully stir mixture. Sprinkle vinegar over salad and add salt and pepper. Be somewhat generous with the salt and pepper, carefully mix in and taste for vinegar and seasoning; adjust if necessary. Let set for about 1 hour before eating. ~~Rec.food.recipes is moderated; only recipes and recipe requests are accepted for posting. Please read the FAQ posted each week.
