Fresh German potato salad doesn’t use mayo either. And it’s fresh.
I, for one, am not a fan of “proper” potato salad because I dislike mayo.
I’ve never had this stuff, but it sounds much more interesting to me.

Then I guess we’re talking about at least three unrelated types of food that are called potato salad.

My grandma always makes both kinds for family gatherings (the mayo kind and the vinegar kind, vinegar being what she calls German potato salad). The way she makes it, the “sauce” part that coats the potatoes is bacon fat, vinegar and a little sugar.

Is the bacon fat and vinegar blended/emulsified? Is it served warm or cold? The flavors sound great, but I can’t picture how that’s not a messy puddle of grease and vinegar.

It’s emulsified like you’re making a vinaigrette and my grandma always serves it warm

Yeah I gotta get some of that. Sounds pretty good.
