DANISH POTATO SALAD

This recipe for Danish Cold Potato Salad, or Kold Kartoffelsalat as we called it in Denmark, is a great summer side dish and is a most-have for a traditional Nordic barbecue party. Cold Potato Salad is a fantastic side dish for most types of meat especially sausages and pork made on a grill. It is very easy to prepare and it has a great and fresh taste which is perfect for a hot summer day. For me, this dish has some great memories attached to it. I always remember it from my childhood and that we almost always had it as a side dish in the summer time. I did grow up in a family where almost all dinners, during the summer period, were prepared on a grill in the garden - so of course we did eat a lot of Danish Cold Potato Salad.

Tips for a Perfect Mom's Danish Potato Salad

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape well when boiled and are less likely to fall apart.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy.
  • Cool the potatoes completely before dressing them: This will help the potatoes to absorb the dressing more evenly.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing: You don't want the potato salad to be too heavy or greasy.
  • Add some fresh herbs or vegetables for extra flavor: Chopped dill, parsley, or chives are all great additions. You could also add some diced celery, carrots, or radishes.
  • Serve the potato salad chilled: This is the best way to enjoy its flavors.

Conclusion

Mom's Danish potato salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any summer gathering. It is also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. With its creamy dressing, tangy vinegar, and sweet-tart apples, this potato salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
