Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 ¼ pounds waxy potatoes
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 cup hot vegetable broth
5 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch white sugar, or to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Drain. Cool until easily handled, about 5 minutes. Peel while still warm. Cut into thin slices and put in a large bowl. Add onion.
  • Mix hot broth with vinegar, oil, salt, and sugar. Pour immediately over warm potatoes and onion; the potatoes need to still be warm so they can absorb the dressing better. Allow to stand for 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with chopped chives and serve warm.

Warm German - and Vegan! - Potato Salad image

This is an adaptation of an older German recipe - specifically, it's veganized! I modified it from the VegFamily website. It takes less than forty minutes, since the sauce is made while the potatoes cook. Enjoy!

Provided by White Rose Child

Categories     Potato

Time 40m

Yield 5-6 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 medium potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 -4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons sugar or 2 tablespoons other granulated artificial sweetener
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
vegan bacon bits (optional)

Steps:

  • Bake the potatoes (microwaving is fine).
  • While the potatoes are cooling, heat the oil in a skillet over medium. Add the vinegar and water, and increase the heat till this mixture is boiling. Stir in the sugar and flour, and stir constantly until it's thickened.
  • Peel and chop the potatoes, and place in a serving bowl. Gently stir in the celery, onion, salt and pepper.
  • Pour warm dressing over potato mixture. Sprinkle liberally with vegan bacon bits, if desired. Taste, adjust seasonings, and serve warm.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes. Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, such as Russet, when boiled, making them ideal for potato salad.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy when mixed with the dressing.
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly before dressing them. This will help prevent the dressing from becoming too thin.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the potatoes with the dressing. Over-mixing will result in mashed potatoes.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins. Some popular mix-ins for potato salad include diced celery, red onion, hard-boiled eggs, bacon, and pickles.

Conclusion:

German potato salad is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served warm or cold. It is perfect for picnics, potlucks, and backyard barbecues. With its creamy, tangy dressing and hearty potatoes, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a new side dish to try, give this German potato salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
