I'm wanting to make a potato salad tonight for dinner tonight, but I don't want like a mayo based potato salad. I'm really wanting something different. So far all the recipes I've found have a lot of fresh herbs; they can be expensive %26amp; I don't want to deal with them. A warm potato salad would be good too.I'm looking for a potato salad recipe?

Hot German Potato Salad
6 Yukon gold potatoes cut into cubes
8 ounces thick sliced bacon, cut into pieces
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 red onion, diced
2 tablespoons capers, drained
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Put diced potatoes into a pot and fill with cold water (water should just cover the potatoes). Put pot on stove on medium flame and add salt. When water comes to a boil, and the potatoes are cooked, drain the potatoes and spread out on a side towel to dry.
While potatoes are doing their thing, add bacon to a large saute pan and cook over a low/medium flame. When the bacon is cooked remove with a slotted spoon and drain the bacon fat, reserving some if you want to add it later. Wipe out the pan with a wad of paper towels (and crank up the heat), add a decent amount of a neutral oil, like canola, and heat it until you get some smoke.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the potatoes and shake the pan a couple of times to make sure nothing sticks. Lower the heat a little and let the potatoes brown. Season with salt and pepper.
After a few minutes, shake the pan and get the other sides going. When the potatoes are almost completely cooked, add the red onion and let everything cook together. Once the onions are caramelized, add the capers, red wine vinegar and deglaze. When the vinegar is mostly evaporated, add the extra-virgin olive oil, mustard and bacon (and reserved bacon fat if you want), re-season with lots of cracked black pepper. Serve warm.
Make a german potato salad:
boil the potato's and let cool (until they're warm but not hot anymore).
Slice them into a bowl and add: chopped onion, oil,vinegar, (If you have a cube of bouillon, boil in 1 cup of water and add to potato's), stir in a spoon fool of mustard, add lots of salt and pepper, season all, garlic powder and parsley (dried or fresh).
I don't have the exact amount of ingredients because I always add stuff until it tastes good, can't get any easier than that.
If you have in the fridge: a pickle (diced) or even a boiled egg (sliced) you can add that too.
Here is what I do for 3 lbs of potatoes:
Boil potatoes whole until tender, but not overdone...wait until they cool, then remove skin %26amp; chop into 1 inch chunks (if you use baby potatoes, no need to peel if you like the skin) - it is important to wait until the potatoes cool to cut them so the don't end up mushy.
Hard Boil 7 eggs %26amp; cut into chunks.
Dice 1/2 sweet onion %26amp; 3 stalks of celery.
Mix all ingredients in a bowl along with Marzetti's Original slaw dressing %26amp; some salt %26amp; pepper.
*I do like to add a little mayo to thicken it up, but it is not necessary
Refrigerate
