Note: I’ve always made German potato salad the Herman way- served warm with parsley, red wine vinegar and bacon on

Top. This cold method is a new idea for me. I lived in Germany and still dream about the chocolate, bread and other specialty foods there.

My mom always pours pickle juice over warm cut up potatoes before mixing up the recipe. Duke’s brand mayonnaise is a staple for it too. (Not German potato salad) 😀

I love these old school places! When I was in my twenties (I’m 60 now), I did a Route 66 trip. Places like Annie’s Chicken are restaurants that sprung up because people did so much driving…what a great time in America! Exploring America by car…a lost art for many.

P.S. Why did she order spaghetti at a place known for their chicken?🧐😂

Spaghetti at a chicken place ha ha. Thanks for commenting. There isn't much of the old America left now. Check out this channel. https://www.youtube.com/@TravelwithaWiseguy

One of my mom's secrets was to chill potatoes first so they don't get too mushy when you mix them
