Read German Potato Salad, 15 oz Cans, 2 Pack

German-style potato salad, ready to eat from the can: thin slices of white potato with bacon in a sweet and tangy dressing. The word German here describes the recipe, not where the can comes from. READ is an American brand made by Seneca Foods, and this salad is produced in the United States.

This is the warm style of potato salad rather than the cold, creamy picnic kind. Most cooks tip the can into a saucepan or skillet and heat it through for a few minutes, though it is fine at room temperature too. It sits well beside bratwurst, pork chops, roast chicken, or anything that comes off the grill.

It also takes well to a little work. The brand's own kitchen suggests sauteing onions, carrots and peppers into it, folding in meatballs and cherry tomatoes for a skillet supper, or loosening it with broth for a quick potato soup. Two cans give you a side dish for a crowd in about five minutes.
