Traditional German Warm Potato Salad
Is there anything more delightful than a freshly prepared potato salad? Paired with sausages or pork, it's absolutely delightful! This recipe originates from Bavaria, Germany, and has been a cherished tradition in my family for our Christmas Eve celebrations every year.
Ingredients
- 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 (Optional)
Instructions
- 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.
