Hot German potato salad is is one tasty dish.  Instead of a traditional mayonnaise based dressing, this potato salad is tossed in a vinegar and mustard vinaigrette.  The potatoes are tossed with the dressing when they are warm and soak up all those flavors.  Bits of crispy bacons are also added.  Serve this hot German potato salad at your Labor Day barbecue or any outdoor gathering.
