Authentic German Potato Salad: 5 Reasons It’s Totally Addictive


  • Author: ushinzomr

Description

This authentic German potato salad is tangy, warm, and totally addictive! Perfect as a side dish for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds waxy potatoes (such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes)
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and scrub the potatoes. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, slice them into 1/4 inch thick rounds.
  3. In a saucepan, combine the chicken or vegetable broth, diced onion, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Heat over medium until the mixture is warm but not boiling.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the sliced potatoes with the warm broth mixture. Toss gently to coat the potatoes evenly.
  5. Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Just before serving, stir in the chopped parsley and crumbled bacon, if using. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For best results, use waxy potatoes, as they hold their shape better.
  • This salad can be made ahead of time and gently reheated before serving.
  • Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your taste.
