Deluxe German Potato Salad image

I make this salad for all occasions-it goes well with any kind of meat. I often take this salad to potlucks, and there's never any left over. The celery, carrots and dry mustard are a special touch not usually found in traditional German potato salad. -Betty Perkins, Hot Springs, Arkansas
