Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Scrub potatoes and cook in water to cover until potatoes are done, about 17 minutes. If tiny new potatoes are not available, use large ones, scrub and cut into eighths. Cook about 10 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Heat nonstick pan and saute until sausages are cooked, about 7 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Mix flour with a little of the vinegar to a smooth paste. Stir in remaining vinegar until smooth; stir in sugar, celery seed and water, and set aside.

  5. Step 5

    Drain potatoes, and cut into bite-size pieces.

  6. Step 6

    Chop pimento; trim and thinly slice scallions.

  7. Step 7

    Stir flour mixture into sausages with potatoes, and stir until mixture thickens. Stir in pimento and scallions.

  8. Step 8

    Season with salt and pepper.

Made with small red potatoes and Bob Evans sausage. Subbed red bell peppers for the pimentos as someone suggested (my husband likes his pimento cheese without pimentos!). It was SO good! Looking forward to eating the leftover cold for lunch!

Was looking to try versions of German potato salad we had not eaten before. I found this was better warm than cold. Recipe says it can be eaten both ways.

This was delicious both warm and cold. I used a very small amount of caraway seed because I didn't have celery seed. Added chopped celery to compensate, I like crunchy, though the German potato salad grandma made was never that. If you are like me, sub chopped red pepper for the pimento. The caraway intensified to perfect the next day. Used leftover Italian sausage ring for the meat. Great pantry dish.
