80--- Hot German Potato & Roasted Root Salad

This is a potato salad that does not have to be confined to picnic season! You can also add turnips, beets and celery root to this salad if you choose. It would be a lovely side dish to a lean slice of roast or baked chicken breast.

In a German potato salad (from southern Germany, as I understand), the mayonnaise is replaced by vinegar... and bacon, and it is served warm.
