Potato salad is a BBQ staple.  I can’t imagine going to a BBQ in Australia without a bowl of potato salad being on the table.  But, it can be a bit bland. Unless you throw a lot of flavour into it.

I had a friend at school who had German parents.  I have no idea whether this version of potato salad comes from them or whether it is a twist on potato salads I have had in Germany.  It doesn’t really matter. But I always think this dish has a German provenance.  And as you always have sausages at a BBQ (and the Germans love their sausages), this works well with the meat from the barbie.

I know lots of people put hard boiled eggs through potato salad.  Not me.  I think it is an abomination.  However, I am nothing if not flexible so add eggs if you really want to. There are so many other flavours in this recipe that I don’t think it is needed but do what works for you.

This recipe is enough for 6-8 people.   Scale it up if you are catering for lots of people.
