This sounds so good! I'm on a low carb diet so I can't have this right now but I'm going to bookmark it for a planned cheat

I love German potato salad...my grandma is form Germany and she used to make it all the time. So good!

I have a silly question. What in heck is a fond?

 

[ladykemma2]

fond is the browned stuff stuck on the bottom and brown crunchy bits in a pan when you fry or roast. don't burn it.

how come these recipes have all the 'posting junk' in them?

any way to clear it? makes it a demon to read.......

I like German style potato salad but it isn't too often I get it. Rachel Ray just did an episode where she made German Style Oven Fries that I hope to try.
