This is a creamy German-style potato salad with a tremendous flavor given from Asian ingredients! I made this up on a whim and everyone loved it. I add ham, but feel free to leave it out - it won't alter the flavor much, just the texture.
This is another recipe I've submitted on AllRecipes.com. It's not as popular as my other recipes, but it's still rated a 4.5/5.
