[edit] Potato Salad

5 lbs Potatos 
7 1/2 TBS Sugar
3 1/2 Tsp Salt
pepper
4.8* oz Vinegar
6.4* oz Water
1/2 Onion

Cook potatos, peel while still hot using a lint free towel to hold. Cut into slices. Meanwhile add Sugar, Salt, Pepper, Vinegar, Water and Onion into a blender and blend. Once potatos are finished add liquid.

For German Potato Salad add Butter, Bauers Mustard (dab) and Bacon.

For regular Mayonnaise Potato Salad add mayonnaise. I like to make a big batch of this during the summer. I let it sit in my refrigerator in the brine and add mayonnaise just to the quanity I need at that time. Also the longer the potatos sit in the brine the better tasting it is. I strongly recommend at least one day in the brine before serving as Hot or Cold German Potato Salad.

• the amount of ingredients might be strange but I had to adapt my Mom's (Bertha von Hassel) recipe from 50 lbs of potatos.

Enjoy!!!
