Best German Potato Salad Recipe

Easy Potato Salad Recipe

"As soon as I saw the German Potato Salad Recipe,
I knew the recipes were AUTHENTIC"
Here is my best German potato salad recipe. Or (Kartoffelsalat) as it is known in Germany. Each region in Germany tends to have their own recipe for German potato salad. My mother-in-law gave me this recipe, so it is an authentic German recipe.

Make sure that all the potatoes are even in size so that they are all cooked at the same time. You can use large or small, as you wish.

My recipe is easy to make and tastes delicious. Served just warm with meatballs, Maultaschen or a slice of grilled meat, this recipe is sure to be a winner. Make a big batch, invite some friends round for a barbecue and enjoy!

This recipe is best served warm.

Kartoffelsalat

8-10 salad potatoes
1 onion
1/2 cup of warm meat broth
white wine vinegar, sunflower oil and salt to taste
pepper

Steam the potatoes in their skins until tender. If you have any potatoes from the day before, even better as they are easier to slice. Scrape them and let them cool slightly until just warm.

Chop the onion finely.

Slice the potatoes thinly with a potato slicer or a vegetable knife. Place in a large bowl.

Add the onion and enough warm meat brothso that the potatoes are quite moist but not sitting in broth! and leave to soak for an hour.
Lastly add enough sunflower oil, vinegar, salt and pepper to taste. Again I can`t give exact quantities but I suggest that you start off with a couple of tablespoons of each of the oil and vinegar and then add more to taste.

Mix thoroughly. The potato salad should not be too dry, but quite moist.

Serve with your favourite German recipe such as Wiener Schnitzel.

Potato Salad Recipes with Cucumber

Prepare the potato salad as above. Peel one whole cucumber and thinly slice(but not paper thin). Add at the very end and mix through. Sprinkle one dessert spoon of finely chopped dill over the salad.

German Potato Salad Complements

Try German potato salad with Maultaschen for a top tasty meal that's filling too. Or if you prefer an original Wiener Schnitzel made with veal and coated in breadcrumbs. Alternatively enjoy German potato salad with a homemade Pretzel cold meats, cheese and salads for a Bavarian Brotzeit.
