How To Make Potato Salad?

The various versions of potato salad originate from various regions in Europe. Out of these, the strongest claim is made by Germany. Here, it was a potato dish with vinegar and spices with onions and bacon. It was also served warm. This was brought to America by the 19th century, and the vinegar was quickly replaced by mayonnaise.
