This is definitely not a traditional potato salad. First - there is no mayonnaise that most salads have. Second, you serve it warm.
The most interesting thing about this dish is the dill pickle. It provides a very interesting and tangy flavor.
The other ingredients blend well. You get the soft creaminess of the potatoes and the crunch from the bacon, celery and onion.
The pickles and vinegar really provide that vinegar kick.
I served this with the Rheinischer Sauerbraten and Red Cabbage with Apples. It was a great German themed meal!
