Microwaving potatoes for this tasty side is a handy timesaver-especially in warm weather. I found the original recipe in an old cookbook and added roasted peppers and olives for color and zip. Chop your ingredients while the potates cook, and the salad's ready to chill in 20 minutes! -- Bonnie Carelli, Charlton Heights, West Virginia

GERMAN POTATO SALAD - MICROWAVE

I've been making this fast, easy recipe for over 20 years! There is almost no clean up and it's very tasty. This can be served piping hot, but we prefer it just barely warm. If you like less zip from the vinegar, just reduce the amount to 1/8 cup. Cooking time includes potato cooking time.
