Potato salad, to us, is the crux of any summer gathering. We love hot dogs and hamburgers and fruit salad, but a backyard bash isn’t really anything at all if you don’t have those tots. Here, we’ve got an awesome recipe for you for when it’s hot out; we don’t like standing over a pot of boiling water, so it’s the perfect time to throw everything in the slow cooker, and this german potato salad hits the spot every time. Without any mayonnaise, this variation is tangy and refreshing…definitely not to be missed!
