  • Author: ushinzomr

Description

This Authentic German Potato Salad is tangy, warm, and totally addictive. A perfect side dish for any gathering!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds of waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold
  • 1/2 cup of diced onion
  • 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Wash and boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. While the potatoes are cooling, combine the diced onion, apple cider vinegar, vegetable oil, Dijon mustard, sugar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk until well combined.
  3. Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel and slice them into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Add the sliced potatoes to the bowl with the dressing and gently toss to combine, ensuring the potatoes are well coated.
  5. Let the salad sit for at least 20 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Before serving, garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For best results, use waxy potatoes as they hold their shape well.
  • This salad is best served warm or at room temperature.
  • Feel free to adjust the vinegar and mustard to suit your taste.
