Real German Potato Salad - Direct from My Friend in Frankfurt's image

I adopted this recipe from Recipezaar as it didn't have a loving home. I haven't yet been able to make it, but since I am German and generally like a good German potato salad, I thought I would put my name on this great looking recipe! ;) If you make it before I get a chance, please let me know what you think!

Categories     Salad     Side Dish

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds waxy potatoes
6-8 slices bacon (finely diced)
½ cup finely chopped onion
¾ cup beef stock
6 Tbsp white vinegar
1 tsp mustard (Dijon or mild German mustard)
2 Tbsp vegetable oil (sunflower or avocado oil work best)
1 tsp sugar
½ tsp salt (or more to taste)
¼ tsp black pepper (freshly ground )
2 Tbsp chopped parsley (or chives)

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes in a large pot covered with an inch of water over high heat until tender, about 20 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes.
  • Meanwhile, make the dressing. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Take out the bacon and set it aside, leave the rendered fat in the pan. Add the onion to the pan and saute until translucent but not browned, about 3-4 mins (Image 1). Add beef broth and bring to a simmer. Turn down the heat and add vinegar, mustard, oil, sugar, salt, and pepper (Image 2).
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly so you can handle them. Peel the potatoes. Cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch slices or cubes and put them in a large bowl. (Image 3)
  • Pour the hot dressing over the potatoes. Mix the salad gently then fold in the bacon pieces (Image 4). Let the salad sit at room temperature for at least 20 minutes before serving so that the potatoes can absorb the flavor of the dressing.

AUTHENTIC GERMAN POTATO SALAD



Authentic German Potato Salad image

This authentic German potato salad recipe came from Speck's Restaurant, which was a famous eating establishment in St. Louis from the 1920s through the '50s. I ate lunch there almost every day and always ordered the potato salad. When the owner learned I was getting married, he gave me the recipe as a wedding gift! -Violette Klevorn, Washington, Missouri

MOM'S GERMAN POTATO SALAD

I know there is a debate as to what constitutes "real" German potato salad. All I know is that this is TOO tasty! For those of you who shy away from German Potato salad because it is too vinegary, try this. It has converted MANY people as the balance is darn near perfect. Prep time does not include boiling the potatoes.
