I make this hot German Potato Salad using Landgaegers sausages from The Sausage Shop in New Ulm, Minnesota. They are the most tender, juicy, and flavorful sausages I have ever had. The people at The Sausage Shop will mail sausages, but not during the hot summer months. Their gift baskets for Christmas are wonderful. Please, try them!! This recipe is a result of my fiddling with ones from several cookbooks. I think the sweet-sour balance is just perfect.
