Potato Salad – Multiple Variations

placeholder

So I am crazy about potatoes. I do try to be cautious.  While they fill you up, are full of vitamins, and have an almost perfect macro-profile, people who have a metabolism sensitivity to fast-digesting carbohydrates need to be cautious.  So potato dishes are a treat kind of like dessert. It is unfortunate because I have more potato recipes than anything including potato salad.  I will start out with my favorite which is a German vinegar based style versus the grocery store creamy style. I give a little solace to the fact the German style is all-around healthy compared to the mayo heavy ones.
