TRADITIONAL GERMAN POTATO SALAD



Traditional German Potato Salad image

While beef broth might seem like an unexpected ingredient, it's a must for authentic German potato salad. Mixed with sauteed onions, it gives the vinegary slices of Yukon Golds an extra savory touch.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 pounds baby Yukon Gold potatoes
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 pound bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 small white onions, finely diced (about 1 cup)
2 cups beef broth
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Peel potatoes, and place in a large pot with enough water to cover by several inches. Bring to a boil over high heat, add 1 tablespoon salt, and reduce to a gentle boil. Cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, about 10 minutes.
  • While the potatoes cook, combine the vinegar, sugar, and remaining 2 teaspoons salt in a small saucepan, and place over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Drain potatoes into a colander. Using gloves or paper towels to protect your hands, slice the hot potatoes into 1/8-inch-thick rounds. Drizzle with hot vinegar mixture, gently stirring until all potatoes are coated. Set aside.
  • Saute bacon in a large skillet placed over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until browned and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon; transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Drain excess fat from skillet, leaving a thin coating in bottom. Add onions; saute until translucent but not browned.
  • Add beef broth; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer, and cook until reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Pour over the reserved warm potato mixture, and sprinkle with the reserved bacon and chopped parsley. Gently stir to combine, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose waxy potatoes for this salad, as they hold their shape well after boiling.
  • Be careful not to overcook the potatoes, as they should still have a slight bite to them.
  • Use a good quality bacon or pancetta for the salad, as it will add a lot of flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of vinegar in the dressing. A white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar would both be good choices.
  • If you don't have any fresh parsley, you can use dried parsley instead. Just add it to taste.

Conclusion:

This hot German potato salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great side dish for a barbecue or picnic. The salad is made with waxy potatoes, bacon or pancetta, onion, and a tangy vinegar dressing. It's simple, yet flavorful, and sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
