wow who wouldn't like that - best food mayo makes everything taste good! All i can offer is adding some spring onion, taking out the kumera and adding mint and hardboiled eggs !

Mine of course :)
German type potato salad made from small waxy type potatoes, steamed, peeled and sliced finely then tossed with hot stock and let steep in it so the spuds soak up the stock, after 15 minutes add oil, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper and chopped onions. Let sit for about 30 minutes to an hour and serve.

You can vary the original by adding thinly sliced cucumber, some Northern German people use gherkins instead (most likely they didn't have cucumber up there for very long in the season). Some more eastern people use fried bacon in the salad . and some others add chopped boiled eggs.

My own - slightly warm potatoes still in their skins with caramelised red onion, sundried tomato, crispy bacon, anchovies, balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil .I don't like potato salads made with mayo or similar type dressings.

Baby potatoes steamed till tender then chopped lightly, spring onions, parsley (all from the garden) and then homemade mayo stirred through while its still quite warm (but not hot) and then served at room temperature.Yum.Can't wait till my potatoes are ready.

I always use half mayo and half sour cream in the dressing.

I like to dress mine similar to .wheelz.cook potatoes, dice them, chopped onion, gherkins, chili, salt pepper. Chill, loosen with milk if need be, or the liquid from the gherkins.

I use canned potatoes. Already cooked, peeled, uniform, cold, convenient, delicious, waxy, consistent and great for photo shoots. :-)

Hubby worked with a German woman. Gerkins are her secret. I turned into a potato salad lover, thanks to gabi.
Also, mix the mayo with some milk.to thin it down. I don't like the mayo too thick

I mix the mayo (if I use it) with vinegar :)

Edited to add:I would leave the kumara out of a potato salad and make a different kind of salad with it.Kumara is sweet and goes well with oranges and spinach in a salad.
