This was delicious both warm and cold. I used a very small amount of caraway seed because I didn't have celery seed. Added chopped celery to compensate, I like crunchy, though the German potato salad grandma made was never that. If you are like me, sub chopped red pepper for the pimento. The caraway intensified to perfect the next day. Used leftover Italian sausage ring for the meat. Great pantry dish.
