As always, thanks for liking our recipes and videos and sharing our family table each week.
I love your recipes, sorry, but way too much sugar, saturated fat from bacon, just my opinion. But enjoy.
Thanks for the recipe! It's been many years since I had a good authentic German potato salad. (I'm gonna use about 50% more bacon, though; nothing crazy, just a bump up.) How about a good Greek potato salad, the sort with red potatoes, lemon, green onions and dill? So good...
7:15 - I was just about to post that skin on is optional right ? I've had several dishes of this kind of potato salad with skin on. From what I've been told potato skins are 'healthy' but who are we kidding ; its carbs and fat . I'll gobble this stuff up any day of the week . :) Don't judge me !
James you are a 10 out of 10. Your son grows every time he does a taste test. You must be so proud of him as he is of you. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!
Grows and grows with each video.
Im proud of him knowing all these food and flavour words at a young age. I had to teach them to myself once I got into cooking and wine in my 20s and it was difficult at times. I hope James Jr appreciates how lucky he was to learn them right off the bat when he is a young adult
Thanks so much.
Jim, I love the respect you give James through your interactions with him. When you welcome him and thank him for participating, it shows how much you value his time and opinions. James, you are a well-spoken young man with a sensitive palate. Your opinions and ratings reflect your appreciation for good food and the person preparing the food. You guys make a great team!
Thank you so much.
Hello from Germany! You are my favorit chanel 🤩 We have many different Potatosalads in Germany, it depends of the region. In the north more classic with, Apple, Cucumber, Majonaise - it´s sweat and sour and crunchy. In the south „ schwaebisch“ or „bavarian“. No majo, but with mustard, oil or melted butter, and Bouillon, not water! One name - Potato Salad - thousend delikat recepies. 😋
My grandma, from Heidelberg, made the best potato salad. Very similar to yours, just no carrots, and her garnish was hard boiled egg wedges. The ingredients; potatoes, bacon, oil, vinegar, onion, salt & pepper. That’s it. Stick it in the fridge for a couple hours. Yummmm!
Sounds like mine. but we eat it hot. No carrot and no egg. Good with ham or sausage.
I enjoy the particularly proud smile you always get when James appears! Warms my heart!
James subconsciously dancing to the good taste tells a lot about the food!!
The taste-tester's vocabulary is growing! He's got the makings of a great food critic! 😁
James' evaluation and resulting score absolutely make these videos.
He's a good kid
This is my grandmother's (Oma) recipe. In WWI then WWII there was no mayo, but she owned a farm, so there was bacon and fat from the pigs. Instead of carrot, she added chopped pickled cucumbers. Takes me back down memory lane, thank you.
These deli vids are a life saver. I'm in Oregon and while we have good food here, it's not NY/NJ good. Big thanks.
Hi James,
I grew up in Brooklyn and I have moved to Thailand about 15 years ago. I stumbled across your channel when I saw you were making a NY Deli Macaroni salad. I haven't seen anyone else doing it on UA-cam, so I had to watch it. Then, when I heard you speak, I thought to myself: This is a genuine NY dude, not some poser from a 5 star Michelin restaurant making a NY deli salad. Watching your videos makes me feel at home. Thank you
BTW, the kid is a natural food critic. He doesn't pull any punches even though his dad is right there and his dad made the dish. He's articulate and he tells you EXACTLY what he likes and doesn't like in a particular dish. It's so refreshing to see such honesty. It makes me almost miss New York. :D
thanks so much!
Your son is going to be a good cook just like his Dad. Happy Father's Day !!
I’m enjoying all these deli videos. Keep it going.
Agreed. Maybe a breakfast item - a truly amazing bacon, egg and cheese on a roll would be a lot of fun.
Greetings from Germany, exited to try out your version of the good old potatoe salad. Your deli series is so much fun to watch
The kid has a good grasp of descriptive terminology of food and a good stage presence. Would be fun to watch him cook with you on a dish at some point. Or maybe even solo have have you do the tasting and review.
The recipe in my family did not use carrots but did use diced celery. Gave it bit of a crunch. It was a side dish with ham.
Man! James is getting to be a pretty discerning taster!
I know that there is a difference between deli German potato salad and classic "from Germany" potato salad (Swabian) but the big difference is true German potato salad used beef stock. The classic is just potatoes, yellow onion, beef stock, vinegar, salt & pepper, sugar and mild mustard (plus chives for garnish). That's it. It is almost intoxicatingly good. I have a friend whose mother is German and she would make this for me all the time. A couple of notes on this: the kind of potatoes that they use in Germany aren't available here, so she would use Yukon Gold (she said these were the closest). Basically you boil the potatoes whole and unpeeled (this is so that the potatoes absorb the least amount of water) just as you did. When cool enough peel and slice. Then in a saucepan you add the onions, beef broth, vinegar, mustard and everything else, then quickly bring it to a boil and then pour it all over the potatoes WHILE STILL HOT (that is very important ass it aids absorption). Cover and leave this sit for AT LEAST an hour, then add a drizzle of neutral oil. The potatoes absorb the mixture but also release starch so you end up with this super creamy, almost saucy potato salad.
The deli salads series is fantastic.
My friends German Grandma would lay the sliced potatoes out on a plate and season each piece of potato with salt, sugar and vinegar to get the ratio just right. Best potato salad I've ever eaten. It was super simple, but the care she took in the seasoning made it great. This seems a lot easier. I'm going to give this a try! Probably skip the carrot though. That just seems weird to me. (I'm from the midwest and I've never seen carrot or mayo in a german potato salad).
Neither have I, and I’m from Germany and have seen potato salad prepared in countless different ways. Carrot salad is popular in the South, at least I see it a lot here, but I’ve never seen carrots in potato salad.
Agreed, no carrots in german potato salat. Never!
@@Diana-qp2rw How about mayo, did you ever see that in a German potato salad?
In my experience every family in Germany has a different recipe for this. And they’re all the best version of course!
I always thought that German potato salad by definition was oil & vinegar, no mayo. (And no eggs.) If it had mayo, it’s not German, it’s American. That makes it good for outdoor events like picnic parties, etc.
But anybody can invent their own potato salad and give it a name of their choosing. I add mustard seeds(and other ingredients) and call it “my potato salad.” 😊 And I have more than one type of potato salad.
Oh my! I haven't seen James in a couple of months and he looks (and sounds) so grown up!!! Love this Deli series!
Your relationship with your son is very cute. And he is taking his job seriously. Good chef and good parenting!
This is totally different from what I know as potato salad here in Germany. But it is interesting and of course there are thousands of different ways to prepare this. We love to put in apples, fresh onions, pickle and I use home made mayonnaise.
I've been a professional German my entire life and this is the most un-german thing I've ever seen.
But it does look pretty good!
German potato salad for clueless Americans
Would it be ok to ask how your family would make it?
That question is for German businessman
loooved the proud father sideview when the taste tester began to rave about the sandwich! 💛
Youre the man dude, it’s awesome to see how far this channels grown and how quickly. Someone affiliated with the comedy group MDE (out of Providence), pushed you to me a few years ago and I am forever grateful.
Thank you so much!
Grew up in PA , but live out west now . My Mother made this Potato Salad at least once a week . Minus the carrot, Mayo and Carrots, but I think 🤔 I’ll try it this way now 😍 now I’m craving this 😂
I love you guys. James is incredible with his reviews. German Potato Salad is one of my favorites. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe with us.❤
My mother is from Hesse in Central Germany. Her family makes a similar version (without carrots). The potatoes were served warm and a room temperature vinaigrette was poured over..amazing! Your version seems very close to my family’s. Can’t wait to make it myself!
This is the only kind of potato salad I make at home because it's so good and I grew up with it. I often add some kind of green herb (parsley or dill, and scallion green) and some bleu cheese crumbles. Magical.
I'm German born and have eaten German potatoe salad in most regions of Germany. Never have I seen Carrots used anywhere in the salad and putting the salad in a sandwich is unheard of in Germany. Every region of Germsny has their own version of the salad.
Same! My German mother never used carrots! Hers was the BEST I've ever had. I can do pretty good too!
Agreed. Carrots just don’t belong in potato salad. So weird 😅
He is replicating food found in New York Delis. Obviously they use carrots, even if it isn't authentic to Germany
@@fureyhiggins3289right he even said it was his addition and can be left out, plus this is a New York deli style German potato salad not an authentic German potato salad😂 people are so triggered for no reason
I really enjoy your sons critic of the food. It's really honest and appreciated. The deli recipes, are things I absolutely will try.
The stable of talent in your Academy of Judges has really expanded their descriptive assessment, almost like he is producing "America's Got Taste". The only thing I enjoy more than James' part in the show is when I cook your recipes myself! I love your family meal team!!
Away from the family cookbook at the moment but when I return home I’m going to read my great grandmother’s German potato salad recipe to compare. Thanks for sharing the deli salads in time for the summer BBQ parties.
If James says it’s good, then it’s good. He’s not a big fan of the potato salad, but he’s honest in his grading.
Grew up with 'Kisu krompir' boiled, then sliced potatoes with vinegar, oil, salt and pepper. And that was it. Even my late grandma, born in 1888, made it the way I just explained. Now, we have the luxury of exotic oils, vinegars to spice it up, pumpkin oil is especially good, Austria and Slovenia grow and process lots of it.
So many different potato salad styles when I was growing up in Germany - this one is my favorite, and thanks to you I now know how to make it!!
I really love mayo-less potato salads. My dad often made a Mediterranean one with capers and olives that we still often eat with grilled meats.
This made me so hungry for a real NY deli sandwich and potato salad. Grew up on Long Island. Moved to SC in the 80’s and now in northern VA. There is nothing like New York deli food. And there is nothing like a New York deli south of NJ! And bakeries too! Will forward this to my husband to try. We love the regular NY deli potato salad. Thank you for all the excellent videos!😊❤
In Germany/Austria... German Potato Salad does not have Bacon (or carrot). And it absolutely does not have mayo! I've been there and tried it myself. It does, however, have dill.
Keep these deli staples coming! LOVE this series!
My German Great Grandmother's secret to her German potato salad was to mix in either rendered duck or goose fat just before serving, she served the salad warm and there was no mayo or carrots in the recipe.
I think she used about 3 tablespoons of rendered fat per 1 pound of potatoes plus what was used to sauté the onions in.
I'm glad you said it's OK to leave the skin. I like using red potatoes with the skin, as it would add a very appealing color to the salad.
The sandwich looks fantastic! I trust James' expertise.
I'm enjoying your deli salad series, and thanks for that. But I also think your Italian dishes are primo -- nearly what I call "Mom-worthy".
My mother was 1st generation Sicilian-American, a fantastic cook, who learned from my grandmother. Twenty six years since she passed and my cousins still regard her as a Legend in the kitchen. I believe that she, too, would have enjoyed your videos. Some things our family might do a little differently than you do, but I nearly always learn something from your videos. And I get hungry, too. Thank you.
Loved to watch this, just like all your other videos.
for a twist, if you wanna try, skip the fried bacon, onion, carrots. Boil the potatoes, ideally waxy texture variety, and peel afterwarts, put aside. Make a dressing from chives and apple vinegar, some sugar, salt, pepper. cut the potatoes into half-pinky finger thick slices. pour over the still slightly warm potatoes and then add some broth (beef, bone), boiled, cooled and still warm as well. then add sweet onion, cut in tiny dices. let it sit for a while, see if you need more broth, but careful with the amount, should stay dry-ish but soft. serve still warm and next to endive salad (mustard-raspberry vinegar dressing, some lemon), the endive cut in slim stripes. some prefer to mix, i love havin it side by side. goes awesome with breaded cutlets (obviously) and a sparkling water (we love this stuff over here) or sprite / 7up or weissbier if you want. recipe is (from memory) what my grandma made for me when i was a kid and her lovely presence stil upgraded this whole planet.
There was a German deli and cafe in Washington, D.C. (closed now) called Cafe Mozart. They made phenomenal German potato salad! They didn't put in carrot. They did put in the bacon and they left their potato skins on! New potatoes have thin skins anyways so I just leave them on. They add color and texture.
Love having fun and trying different ingredients, that is how a true chef cooks!
Jim and James! Love it! Great recipe as always, and the sandwich looks perfect!
james is gonna be a great cook when he grows up. Good job on passing on the craft.
Made this on Father’s Day !! Great recipe thank you!
Many German potato salad recipes include gherkins. The potatoes are sauteed and partially crisp (skin on). The additional ingredients are added to the saute pan warmed through. Warm German potato salad goes well with brats or pork cutlets.
This looks perfect for all of our summer cookouts -- thanks for sharing!
Spent living 8 years in 4 different areas of Germany. Took a long time to find a place to get German Potato Salad. Finally, in Wiesbaden, I found one establishment (just one) that had it. It was offered in what was similar to a delicatessen. Never saw it on menus in restaurants, nor in any other food stores anywhere. Having grown up in Chicago near a German community and enjoying German Potato Salad, I was surprised how difficult it was to find it while living in Germany. So glad when my father came to Germany for a visit and he was able to enjoy eating real German Potato Salad in Germany. It was served warm and was very delicious. Never could understand why it was so difficult to find it in that country.
Because there is no such! In Germany different regions have different food traditions. Greetings from Germany!
James is the best fed kid on Long Island
When it comes to authentic German potato salad, there are two types of German potato salad, there is warm, potato salad, and cold potato salad.
Warm potato salad just like you’re making it without carrots. Cold potato salad does not have carrots or bacon, similar ingredients to what you have there pretty much but less sugar. And also a small Amount of mayonnaise also using that same amount of potatoes. There are also different regions of Germany that make potato salad without mayonnaise. I’m going by how my family made it and I still make it today. Myself and my other siblings are first generation Americans from German family. My mother, my aunt and my grandparents came to America in the early 50’s. This day, my grandma grandmother’s potato salad is the best I’ve ever had. I try and get pretty close but it’s still not hers. Although mine is better than my moms. Lol!
I’m drooling!!! Gonna make this for sure. Thank you Jim.
I LOVE German potato salad. I have never made it. This is my cue to do so I think. That sammich looked mighty tasty, too. I've really enjoyed your NY Deli series. Thank you!
I use scissors to cut bacon when it’s not frozen. Simpler, but not necessarily faster! Love this series. 🇨🇦💕
Since discovering your deli series I make delicious meals during the week and hijack sugar trucks during the weekend.
😂Good one ! 😂
Yessss!!! Can’t wait for this one!
Thanks for doing this particular episode. I truly love a great German potato salad. My late aunt used to make it during the holidays and when we came out to visit I couldn't wait for the opportunity to gorge myself. Lol. I am fortunate that pretty much all of my family were into good food. Not necessarily fancy shmancy, but just great stuff that always hit that special spot next to your heart and soul.
James is getting really good at his reviews. A food critic in the making. I’ve never had either but the salad & sandwich look absolutely amazing!
My German great grandmother always used red potatoes. When they were finished cooking, she'd lay them on a kitchen towel and squeeze copious amounts of lemon on them while they were hot. She always used lemon juice. Never bacon tho.
My MIL made German potato salad with oil, vinegar, a little sugar, and parsley. No bacon. My Mom made it with bacon and used the bacon grease.
Loving the deli series!!
James has become an excellent food critic! Enjoy your videos. Thank you!
I love German potato salad and this looks solid! Always love James reviews and this one was super. I'll be making this over the summer. Thanks!❤
For a “deli” version it’s pretty close to authentic 😊 (ditch the carrots). I think my boys would LOVE that sandwich with my German potato salad! Gonna give it a go! Alles Beste und vielen Dank!
Finally a potato salad without mayo! Looks great! And the sandwich idea is awesome. Minus the Russian.
I know you're showcasing deli style salads, but for home style, skip the sugar and use cider vinegar instead of white.
No carrots in German potato salad. In middle to northern Germany they put mayo in, but no bacon ore else. Here in the south, we don´t put mayo, only oil and vinegar, herbs and onions, maybe bacon, but that´s not the usual way. Greetings from Germany, you´re doing very well, like it very much.
I like watching your channel and seeing all of these amazing dishes prepared, keep up the great stuff. Se-Port deli was my go-to place in high school for breakfast or lunch. Will have to drive back there at some point for a visit with my family. Your son does a great job as a food critic, honest and precise. 😊
I miss living in NYC, there is delicious food and drink on every corner and can't forget the Halal/Hot dog stands in between every block.
For those people that are triggered that it’s not authentic because they are German and it’s not the way they do it. He never said it was an authentic German potato salad. He is making a New York Deli take on it, so relax no one is saying your salad is wrong😂😂😂especially since you DON’T make New York deli German potato salad.
OMG I just found you over a month ago and I can't get enough. The way you explain everything is so great! Thank you!
German here, living in NYC. Longtime fan of the channel. Hate to burst the bubble but BACON does not exist in Germany. We have a pork product called SPECK that is somewhat similar it’s salted pork belly but is not smoked. Southern Germany has a variation of this potato salad you are making, however there’s no meat in it whatsoever… not that I’ve seen in my life or my family. If someone is making it with SPECK they are copying this American variation. Conversely, Northern German potato salad is made with sour cream and chives. I prefer the Southern style served warm!
German Potato Salad is my favorite potato salad. We had jt quite often when I was a boy, and it was an awesome sweet and sour complement to whichever entree was being served!
I just wanted to slip into the comments and let you know how much I appreciate this channel. You and your family are so authentic; and most importantly, you’re a STORYTELLER. Makes all the difference in the world while learning your family’s recipes ❣️🤌🏻✨
Grew up on this German Potato Salad along with many other delicious goodies made by my Aunt. 😋 Some of my best childhood memories..!
Ha, Se-Port! We're neighbors! Love your stuff thank you!
Big fan from New Zealand. Ran this by my German co-worker today and he said this was EXACTLY how his mum made it back him in Frankfurt. Awesome channel dude, I base most of my cooking on your recipes these days!
That's great to hear, thanks so much!
a bourgeoning chef is emerging right before our eyes 😃
My man. I have said to my husband SO many times over the years, WHY don't ppl put potato salad on sandwiches? It just seems like a good idea. There's the fries on sandwiches thing, which I don't like b/c they are too dry. The dressing on the salad takes care of that, plus whatever else you have in the salad is a flavor bonus.
Thanks James. Great looking sandwich. Definitely making it tomorrow evening.
Frozen bacon is trivial to cut, a few slices at a time so it's faster as well.
You could boil the bacon in a little water that just covers the bacon, on a medium simmer that has the water evaporate in maybe 5-7 minutes, followed by the browning in the rendered fat.
YES... THE ONE I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR. THANK YOU 👏🏻
Ummm... sugar doesn't evaporate. I think "dissolve" is the word you're looking for.
Recipe looks awesome, and the sandwich is killer!
That sandwich made my mouth water....I am so happy I subscribed and can not wait to check out the rest of your channel!
Yummy ❤ Thank you for sharing this recipe 🥰
James is the coolest.
I have been making this for years. It makes me salivate
NY German Potato salad is amazing. German potato salad is sliced boiled potatoes with mayo and mustard. We should rebrand it American Potato salad as the German version sucks. They do potato really well in other ways but nowhere in Germany was the potato salad any good.
Love the video and German potzto salad. And when James comes in for the taste test and rating. Just brings it all together. Happy Fathers Day. Blessings to you and family.👍
Greetings from Germany! This might be a US inspired version of a German potato salad, but it certainly ain’t a German potato salad 😅
If you want a legit German potato salad recipe go look for „Thomas kocht Kartoffelsalat“ 👍
been in va for 21 years and the only things i miss are the delis, pizza, and bagels..
Jim I am a HUGE fan. I found your channel over 4 years ago and have not missed a single video since. I've made no less than 30-40 recipes to serve my friends and family. I've watched your children grow, I've watched you begin to gray and cut your ponytail (thank god lol). All this being said because I feel like the channel isn't producing recipes for meals as of late. It's just the deli stuff. Please let's get back to meals, especially the Italian and Italian-American stuff. I know there are a finite amount of recipes that exist, but don't look past the idea of redoing older videos with updated techniques and tweaked recipes. No matter if you read this or not, I will remain one of your biggest fans and consumers of your content. I wish you and your family all the best!!
I appreciate the feedback. We've been putting out the deli salads since its summer here and will return with the heartier food soon.
Oh, I like this idea, I think I need to try it. Love your deli series, I’m planning on making all of the recipes eventually. Greetings from Germany!
I love your videos. I’ve been making German potato salad since I was a boy in the Dutchtown Neighborhood of St Louis. I respect your attempt and may try using carrots in the future. One thing I would change is swapping apple cider vinegar for the white. The fruity nature really compliments the bacon.
Well done!
