Warm Potato Salad with Kielbasa is my recipe of the day for the blogging group event Alphabet Recipe Challenge.

We love potato salads in the Palatable household, don’t you? I like to have a variety of potato salad recipes at hand. That way I can select one to pair perfectly with whatever main dish I’m having. Not only different flavors or ingredients, but both cold and warm potato salads.

This potato salad is similar in flavor to traditional German potato salad, except it has smoked sausage instead of bacon. And the potatoes are cut differently.

Like German Potato Salad, it has a tangy dressing with a sweet & sour character, and is served warm. Of course, this salad goes great with many German dishes or other Central European fare. Give it a try, I think you’ll enjoy it!
