Best Warm Alsatian Potato Salad Recipes

AUSTRIAN POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Peel and cut the potatoes in 2 cm- 3 cm cubes or slice them with 1.5 cm - 2 cm thickness if you prefer.
• Place the cubed or sliced potatoes in a pan with cold water over medium heat and bring to boil.
• Lower the heat and gently simmer until the potatoes are cooked.
• While the potatoes are cooking, start preparing the sauce.
• In a small saucepan, combine the stock, vinegar, mustard, salt, sugar, pepper, and vegetable oil.
• Gently warm the sauce on low heat until the sugar resolves, remove from the heat and add the red onions.
• When the potatoes are cooked, drain the water and place the potatoes in a large bowl.
• Add the sauce to the potatoes and gently stir to combine all the ingredients until the starch from the potatoes starts to thicken the sauce.
• Check the seasoning and add more salt or vinegar if needed.
• Garnish with chopped chives and serve warm or room temperature to maintain the creamy texture of the sauce.

AUSTRIAN-STYLE WARM POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the potatoes, thyme sprigs, and 2 tablespoons of the salt. Add enough cold water to cover completely. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until the potatoes are just tender enough to be pierced easily with a skewer or the tip of a sharp knife, about 10 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes. While they are still hot, peel them with a small, sharp knife, protecting your hand from the heat with a folded kitchen towel. As each potato is peeled, cut it crosswise into 1/4-inch slices, letting the slices fall into a mixing bowl.
• Add to the hot potato slices the onion, remaining salt, sugar, pepper, vinegar, and oil. Stir gently but thoroughly with a large spoon to combine the ingredients.
• Before serving, heat the broth in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the potato salad and stir it gently just until the potatoes are thoroughly heated. Garnish with parsley or chives and serve immediately.

WARM ALSATIAN POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a pot, add enough water to cover by 4 inches, and salt generously. Cover partially and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are very soft and a knife pierces through very easily, about 45 minutes. Drain in a colander and let stand until just cool enough to handle.
• Peel and roughly chop the potatoes. Arrange in a single layer in a 3-quart serving dish. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with the vinegar, wine, and oil. Stir gently until the potatoes soak up the sauce. Top with the parsley and onion, taste and adjust the seasonings, and serve.
