My Mom's German potato salad is my favorite!!
She lived in NY after graduating from college. She lived with her aunt who had a house next door to a German restaurant. My Mom knew the family and would often help out at the restaurant when they were busy.
The old German woman who owned it with her husband was the cook.
Mom learned how to make cabbage rolls(my very favorite food) and German potato salad from her.
In the recipe we use you fry bacon for the grease and the bacon for the salad. Remove the bacon and set aside
Then you add sliced onions(not chopped) to the grease and cook until tender.
Next you add flour to the onions and cook for about 2 minutes. Next you add vinegar, sugar, water and a touch of mustard to the onions and cook until it thickens. Salt and pepper to taste .
Finally you add the contents of the skillet to cooked sliced potatoes. Add the crumbled bacon and fold all together.
Serve warm but it is delicious cold too!!
Now I think I will make some!!
This is how we make ours also. A family favorite.
My German grandmother came to New York in 1907 when she was 16, from Zwickau an Sachsen. My mom didn’t speak English until she started school. Our family potato salad is vinegar based and cold or warm. I’ve made it that way or even with mayonnaise. Sometimes I add a variety of fresh herbs. I miss my mom and grandmother and also their cooking. My grandmother worked as a baker in New York. Some of her recipes were Czech influenced because Zwickau is close to the border. I love watching your videos ❤️
That sounds great! Thank you so much for sharing and for your sweet comment 💛 ~ Anja
Stuttgart! Such beautiful memories of 1987 performances onstage at a 'Kindergaarten' auditorium as pianist for a traveling 'chor'. Receptions, keys to the city, Lovely people, all. AND THE OMG FOOD! So, yes, absolutely, I will be making your delicious recipe - which is how I recall this favorite of mine. Thank you so much!
Saxonie in the former East Germany is where my family is from. The influence there was to use small red potatoes, peeled after cooking. I personally see no need for that and leave the peels on. Our version has the onion sautéed lightly in the bacon grease, which is also used in the dressing, other than oil. My mother, who learned the recipe from my father’s mother, always served it warm with lots of crumbled bacon in it and on top. Bratwurst and German potato salad were the main part of our American summer family meals.
Amen to the red potatoes with the skin on and the bacon grease! Bacon grease is food for the soul
Sandra that sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing. I bet your mom made your family many wonderful dishes. 😊
Our family roots are from 🇩🇪 Germany and growing up my Grandparents and parents always made the warm version of potato salad, we actually went to Germany this last fall and traveled all around Germany and every where we ate NO ONE had the warm version!! Everyone had the cold version, but personally I LOVE the warm version best!
Brought back memories of my Nana making German potato salad. Delicious!
So happy to hear that and thank you for commenting ~ Anja
My late grandmother was born in Stuttgart and always made this kind of potato salad minus the bacon. She never used a recipe but I watched her make it many years ago and I have attempted to recreate it. She used chicken broth also. Thank you for your videos reminds me of my grandmother Elisabeth (Liesel). ❤️
Nice! Of course, the bacon is completely optional! I am so glad this video brought back good memories 💛 ~ Anja
Hi from Germany! I love both sorts of potato salad, but my favorite remains to be Essig und Öl. My grandma came from Bavaria and later moved to Mainz, where I was born. She always made vinegar and oil potato salad. Sometimes she‘d use broth and sometimes she‘d use some pickle brine. It was always a treat. Thank you for keeping the tradition alive!
So I remember seeing your creamy German potato salad video and it really had me stumped. My great grandparents immigrated from Germany and my grandmother always made the vinegar based potato salad. Your vinegar potato salad really isn’t a lot of vinegar like I was taught. We didn’t go by a recipe but do remember my grandmother say the she made it lighter but her mother used a lot of lard. I now I’m in charge of making the potato salad in our family. It’s a wonderful memory of my grandmother. I guess my grandparents came from southern Germany.
I am so very thankful for your channel because you have taught me so much about the German culture.
I am so happy to hear you're enjoying my videos! As you have seen (also from the newspaper article) there are so many different potato salad recipes and preferences and they're all great 😋 ~ Anja
Being American, I grew up with the mayonnaise potato salad. Having lived in Germany two tour with my Army husband, I was taught how to do the warm German potato salad and love it. Summer I’ll make the cold mayo potato salad but love the warm in winter.
Ohhhhh i have to try this. Over a decade ago i went to this tiny little german shop in san Francisco and i dont even remember the name but i had the oil and vinegar based german potato salad for the very first and only time and it totally blew my mind. No mayo. It was sooo good i never forgot about it!
I wonder if you had it at Walzwerk. So glad this video brought back good memories ~ Anja
I looked at photos and i dont think that was where i went, it was more like a tiny little deli maybe 10x10 and no restaurant. I had no idea potato salad like that existed and ive been wanting more ever since but moved up north. It was even sliced like yours which i had never seen before. Im so excited to try this!
@@sourgummieznow you got me excited.
@@mayiakashmurr3000 😜
@@sourgummiez I am not sure which place it could have been but there are/were a lot of Eastern European delis that might have served that, too. Have fun making it 👍
I grew up in central PA where a lot of germans settled. My family name is Deibler and we came from the Rhineland area. We always had a hot potato salad with the slightly sweet oil and vinegar dressing. Another family favorite is warm dandelion salad, where we use the bacon grease for the oil in the salad. It very simple you take the dandelion, fry the bacon and pour the warm bacon grease mixed with vinegar and some sugar to wilt the greens, then add the bacon bits. Always a sign spring was here. Thanks for sharing your family info.
That sounds great! Thank you so much for sharing, especially the dandelion salad 😊 ~ Anja
Awesome! I was born in Stuttgart and now live in Oregon. 😃 my mother used to make the vinaigrette potato salad very similar to yours. One additional thing she added was peeled, thinly sliced cucumbers. After slicing she would salt it and let it sit in a colander. After an hour or so she would squeeze out the excess liquid drawn out from salting the cucumber slices. I also like to put in finely chopped onions… put it in beef broth and let that simmer together a few minutes. Then put it aside to cool off. The flavor is just fantastic that way as well. 😋
Thank you for sharing this. To answer your question, I really love the cold potato salad. But that’s only a little bit more than a warm potato salad. I always find it interesting when people get upset about what is considered traditional. They don’t take into account regions, seasonal foods, and even within a country, the way food preferences change over the years. Some of these examples I think of is American barbecue, very regional. Korean kimchi, seasonal and regional. One UA-camr that I watch a lot who does a lot of cooking history was talking about spaghetti sauce, and how years ago they didn’t use tomatoes because they thought they were poisonous. And then years before that, they didn’t even exist in Italy because they came from the Americas. Preferences and cuisines change over time..
Hi love both kinds! My Nan used to make potato salad( mayo based) and she made my Grandfather’s “ German” potato salad- vinegar based, served warm. My Grandfather was from SW Germany! Both are awesome!
Right? I like both recipes, too 😊 ~ Anja
There are potato salad recipes all over the world, but yours reminded me of my childhood....
Aww ... that makes me so happy to hear 💛 ~ Anja
My mother is from Germany and she makes the vinegar and oil type with mayonnaise. She is from Obernau which is in Hessen or Bavaria I believe. Her Potato Salad is all the rave at her Church's Potlucks and friends of the family offer to pay her for a bowl of her Potato Salad. It is especially good warm and just made.
My mom made this occasionally, but I haven’t had in about 30 years. I will be making this as I always loved it!
One of my favorite warm salads. I learned to make this using the bacon grease. Everything else is the same, but I must admit the bacon grease adds a rich flavor.
Bacon grease makes cake batter taste better too...just sayin
My mom as well.
I also use bacon grease and I finely dice a small pickle and toss that in as well.
It’s a pet peeve of mine also. Love any potato salad you put in front of me. Made hot German potato salad last week, bacon, vinegar, oil, mustard. Yum
I cannot thank you enough for this recipe as well as the lengths that you went to in order to gather more information about it's origin!!
My Irish Grandmother used to make this recipe. As I recall she got the recipe from either the Sunday newspaper or one of her magazines that she used to read. I remember how she was so excited to have a new & unusual potato salad. It became a family favorite!
Two years ago I tried researching "German Potato Salad" and needless to say all I found was potato salad made with mayo!. I'm going to try this out soon! Thanks again, your efforts are much appreciated!! Best to all!
Great to have this German potato salad recipe..it's nice to have a chanage once in a while and enjoy a warm potato salad on a cold evening..❤
I've been making German potato salad for 30+ years. I made your recipe the other day. I didn't have white wine vinegar, so I subbed white balsamic and rice vinegar. I was a little concerned about the raw onion but once mixed together, there was no onion crunch. I love this recipe. I see it being made many times in the near future. I even had it with breakfast. 😊
I love how potatoes come from South America and yet we Europeans couldn’t survive without them! I never found a way of cooking potatoes I didn’t like!
Me either 😂
Your Polish pottery bowl is stunning. 😊
I love oil and vinegar potatoe salad!
Thank you!✝️🙏❤️
Molto brava. Grazie per questa deliziosa ricetta❤
In Italia la tradizionale insalata fredda di patate è condita con olio, sale, prezzemolo tritato e uno spicchio d'alio.
In una seconda versione le patate lessate e tagliate si condiscono soltanto con olio e aceto e sale.😊
The big old german potatosalad debate :D haha. There really are a ton of variations around. In the southwestern area we always have the vinegar based one. For the broth we often use the broth from cooking ham (Rollschinkle oder Schäufele) and add it to the potato salad when the broth is still hot. My grandmother had always finely sliced, sauteed cucumbers in her potato salad. So i wouldn´t be surprised if there are at least hundred different family recipes for this dish.
Right 🤪? You gotta love those heritage recipes! Greetings back to the Ländle 😊 ~ Anja
Thanks for sharing your time on you-tube i really enjoyed this recipe have never had it but will try my Step grand mother was German she made the one with mayonnaise all the time and I really
loved watching her make her own mayo, for the potato salad. I has great memory of time spent with her. Have a great week thanks from Australia. 🙏💖🕊👍
My Omaha made the Mayo version mostly. Back in the day, we took lots of picnics and then she would bring the oil and vinegar based salad so there was no chance of spoilage. I love them both - oh yes and I was born in Idar-Oberstein.
Funny about regional potato salads. I have always thought of vinegar based potato salad here in the US as a southern thing, and the mayo based ones as more northern. I lived in Heidelberg for a year and had a friend from Koln, and it amazed me that the physical distance wasn't very much, but the other differences were significant. Northern and Southern Italy have huge regional differences as well. It seems people's expectations are just based on their own experiences. Anyway, thank you for both recipes (being a northerner, I'll use the mayo based one, LOL)
Yes, there are a lot of regional, very different recipes and cuisines in Germany 😊 ~ Anja
Many variations, many regional preferences. All delicious. It’s a shame to not try them all. Same with herringsalat - some with beets, some not - all delicious. I do love the warm potato salad. ❤
Thank you for sharing this potato salad which I plan to add to my summer menus and share with my daughter.
I have been looking for this Potato Salad, had it in Germany years ago!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I can’t wait to try this! Both sides of my family have German heritages and I’ve recently started trying more German recipes, and even started studying the German language! I hope to visit there someday soon!
I am from Augsburg and my mom used to make this all the time. It’s the only one I know and love ❤️
That sounds great and thanks for sharing 💛 ~ Anja
I'm Asian. My late husband was part German. (My mother-in-law was from Bavaria and she always made the cucumber salad, which was excellent.) One time, I watched Rachel Ray on tv make this German potato salad. So, I made it for my husband. Oooh... so good. He loved it!
I think this is what I'll bring to my next Thanksgiving dinner with friends. Can't wait.
Thank you for sharing.
I love warm Schwäbischer Kartoffelsalat! The mayo potato salad is ick when compared to this. I do like them both but only if there is not too much mayo but hands down, this traditional Kartoffelsalat is my first choice. I live in Ulm on the Bavarian border right on the Donau. My mother-in-law always had me heat the broth, vinegar mix before pouring it over the potatoes.
I’m from the US ( not German) and grew up with a mayo version but once I moved to southern Germany and had this, I felt like I landed in heaven.
Thank you so much for chiming in 💛 ~ Anja
my son today asked me to make a "warm potato salad", but I always made mayonnaise based potato salad. I grew up in Sachsen. Thanks for the video, I'll give it a try
Nice! Hope you'll like this version 😊 ~ Anja
Dear Anja, I agree! In the North and West of Germany mayonnaise is far more popular. In the South and South East the vinegar version is more traditional. Americans travel to Oktoberfest 😏 and believe that this is typical Germany, but Bavarian culture and traditions are different from those in the North. Grüße aus Deutschland!
Well I'm Scottish so I love potatoes 😂 and I absolutely love the sound of warm potato salad, thank you for sharing. I'm going to make it this evening. My husband lived in Germany and still loves German style food so he'll no doubt be happy too 😊
Awesome! Hope you enjoy it!
@@OurGabledHome we did, absolutely delicious. I save onion skins, carrot tops and peel, herb stalks etc and make my own bone broth. Thank you 😊
My mom made a similar style potato salad but she often left the skins on. Either way is delicious and now I must add this to my meals planning for the week!
Seattle Wa USA.I prefer the vinegar and oil. My grandmother's mom was from Germany, and they made it with vinegar and oil. Delicious
Thanks for sharing!
I took a German cooking class, and I did not like his potato salad recipe. The dressing was cooked in the rendered bacon fat (6-8 slices bacon) until thickened: 1 T. flour, 2 T. sugar, 1/3 c. water, and 1/4 c. apple cider vinegar. Then you toss in the diced cooked potatoes & bacon with 1/2 c. chopped green onion adding S&P to taste. It was so heavy & kind of pasty with the flour. I had some similar to yours at a cookout and it was delicious. I'm definitely going to try this!
Yeah, it sounds like a very heavy dressing ... Hope you'll give mine a try 😊 ~ Anja
I enjoy both mayonnaise based and oil vinegar based potato salad. As long as an oil and vinegar or lemon juice dressing is poured over the hot potatoes first, my potato salad can go either way.
My husband and I recently fell in love with this hot German potato salad after trying it at a restaurant in Huntsville. I’ve made a variation of it at home and our kids love it too! Thank you for sharing!
Also, I love both this kind and cold mayonnaise based potato salads equally.
That sounds great! Love that the kids loved it, too! Thank you so much for watching and commenting ~ Anja
I’m a mayo cold potato salad girl! I honestly don’t think I have ever had a “hot/vinegar” potato salad! My Grandma always put hard boiled egg, raw onion, celery, mustard, relish, a splash of vinegar in her salad. I don’t think you can go wrong with ANY style of potato salad though!
Yes! Potato salad is always delish 😋 ~ Anja
I grew up with the warm vinegar potato salad!! That's what my mother made from her instruction from my grandfather Fredrick Klenk from his grandmother!! I make both ways because my grandmother who was German and Irish with also a background of Quaker made potato salad with mayonnaise !! I was interested in the seasonings you use!! Thanks for sharing!! Carolyn Klenk
Nothing better than heritage recipes 🥔🍠! Thank you so much for sharing ~ Anja
I grew up eating this classic potato salad. The best.
Nice! Thank you so much ~ Anja
My German mom always made this and added some of the bacon grease. Definitely one of my favorite foods. Thanks for sharing.
Hope you enjoy!
Thank you for sharing your family tradition recipe. I love a warm potato salad. There is a family German deli in Upland, Calif that has this style salad I order extra to bring home.
You're welcome! Warm potato salad is definitely underrated. It sounds like you've found a real gem at that deli in Upland. Maybe their recipe is similar to this one?
I like finely chopped onion in my potato salad but I add some salt and mix it into the onion. I find that it helps to release some juice (which gets absorbed into the potato) while “marinading” the onion at the same time.
Hi Anja, This looks awesome! Thank you for sharing with us.
- John
That looks really good! Thanks 😊
So glad to hear it 😊 ~ Anja
I have done this and we loved it! We are both of German descent and we have played with German recipes in the past. I hate mayo based potato salad, but not the usual American version! Southern German is my jam!
We were in the Frankfurt/Offenbach area back a few months ago and when I purchased potato salad at Penny it was an oil and vinegar based one which I never had before. It was very good however I prefer the mayonnaise based one. My husband is from the Hessen area and when we make potato salad at home it is mayonnaise based. He also confirmed that it is mostly mayonnaise based in Germany. Potato salad is awesome with some bratwurst and red cabbage. ❤🥔❤️🇩🇪
I love German food. It truly speaks to my genetics. Just like areas in the USA it surprises me how many people don't understand depending where they live in most counties as well as here recipes vary even from community to community. I so enjoy learning cooking methods and recipes from you. Thank you so much for sharing and educating
me. Btw my grdsons call me Oma Kate ❤
Grew up in Nürnberg - so the warm potato salad was often found in restaurants- coming from Austrian home I myself prefer the mayonnaise type and have my own healthy version adding plain yogurt- yumm
Nice! I might agree! Sometimes I add yogurt, too, or sour cream 😊 ~ Anja
Thank you!
My father was from Genderkingen which I believe is border Schwabian and Bavarian. I grew up with potato salad made with vinegar, oil, cucumbers and dill. Would love to recreate and seeking recipe for it
That looks delicious!! Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you
You are so welcome ~ Anja
I grew up eating this
Looks great and healthy! I will be making this. ❤️
Es stimmt mit der mayo... I'm Ami born, but lived in Germany for nearly 30 years. I lived mostly in Hessen and Franken, but my family is from Hochsauerland originally. Northern and even very southern Germany usually have a mayo based potato salad. Oil/vinegar is more south/middle of Hessen through Franken and Schwaben the typical recipe. My experience has bacon only being used in Franken. But, you might have grown up in the region quite close to Franken. _(I know people in Amorbach make with bacon.)_
Recipe-wise; Have you ever tried putting your diced onion into the bacon/bacon fat mix for a short while? And yes, German onions are very, very different. I'd actually suggest Americans to use a white onion, and for sure not a Wallawalla or a Maui Gold. Too sweet and *far too much* water in them. If I can't get a small white onion, I used fresh green onion _(scallions)_ instead of an onion/chives mix. Btw, I use the bacon grease instead of oil, so must be served warm. And since having lived in Unterfranken, apple cider vinegar, but also a dash of mustard, and a finely chopped clove of garlic, is a must.
For me, mayo-based potato salad is for with fish. Especially if the fish has been coated. That's classically German; Knusperfisch mit Kartoffelsalat. One of the top selling items at NORDSEE. _(Germany's top fast-food place.)_
Interesting! I’m in Pennsylvania and there are numerous regional versions of potato salad, some cold, some hot, some with mayo, some with mustard, some with vinegar. Where I grew up in northeastern PA, “German” potato salad implied a warm version with “warm/hot bacon dressing.”
That is interesting! Thank you so much for sharing 😊 ~ Anja
I love both potatoe salads. We were station in Ansback in the mid 70’s. In 1980 we went to Berlin for 4 years, and then in 1988 we went to Stuttgart.
Just like some foods in the US that are regional so is Potatoe Salad in Germany
Wow, you have really spent some time in Germany! And yes, lots of regional differences in recipes 😊 ~ Anja
I grew up in Southern Germany so this is similar to what I grew up eating. My mom used a small 8 ounce glass blender jar that came with her blender. She gave me one of those jars and it's one of my most used blender attachments. Her recipe came from our German landlady when we lived in Northern Bavaria. The oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, and a very small onion are blended together to make the marinade. She always used Russet potatoes. I'll have to give yellow potatoes a try.
That sounds delicious and thank you so much for sharing 💛 ~ Anja
am Italian on my father's side and on my mother's side I have Austro-Hungarian and French origins and I also grew up with the same recipe only without the addition of bacon
Nice! You must have had a lot of different influences in your food 😊 ~ Anja
This is the Potato Salad that I love! I had this style of Kartoffel Salat in Würzburg and Nürnberg with the smaller Bratwurst that looks like American breakfast sausages but taste 10 times better! And then when I returned to Köln, we had a potluck dinner and my dear friend from Hof brought what she termed was a Bayerische Art Potato salad with Öl und Essig! Im going to make your recipe this weekend, with the all important broth and dill. Thanks for this video!
Nice! Thank you so much for sharing and have fun making it this weekend 👍 ~ Anja
Looks delicious, Anja! Thank you! I’ve only had this type of potato salad at an Oktoberfest!
Thank you so much 💛 ~ Anja
Love them both. My grandma was by birth Danish, then after the 1865 war, where she lived became part of northern Germany. We had mayo (salad dressing--Miracle Whip--) based all the time I lived at home. As an adult, I had warm salad with oil and vinegar and I loved it. Just as so many dishes in the USA are regionally varied, no surprise when other countries have the same results. Even my sister-in-law who was thoroughly Italian explained the differences between northern and southern cooking in her grandparents' country. I do have a German cookbook from several decades ago that is a hoot to read and try to follow because it was translated by someone who assumed anglophones in this country would know what they meant when the recipe called for "...12 buns..." I definitely lean toward German cooking versus the other genes in my DNA; therefore love your site/channel.
That's great! Thank you so much for sharing 💛 ~ Anja
I’m so excited to try this recipe!! Thank you.
Thank you so much 😊 ~ Anja
My mother was from Munchen and made potato salad with cucumber and onion
I recently tried dill in my potato salad and love it. I have only made it with mayo , but that looks good.
Yes, I love dill! It makes everything taste German 😜 ~ Anja
Wow - That looks amazing, going to have to try this
Thank you so much 😊 ~ Anja
I love them both. I’m have German heritage, yet born and living in America. So I’m used to American potato salad ie cold mayonnaise kind. A German family came on holiday to her daughter (my nieces mother). In their visit they made German recipes for us I had the warm potato salad for the first time. Loved it!!! In fall and winter yet (colder months) I prefer the warm and served with sausage. In spring/summer I prefer cold things do ie Mayo. But the vinegar in the warm would be great cold for summer adding peas thought ;) but yes same differences as iced coffee/ hot coffee, ice tea/ hot teas. Cold potato salad/ hot potato salad. Both authentic
Nice! I think there is a way to incorporate both versions depending on situation, season etc. Thank you so much for sharing 😊 ~ Anja
I just made the vinegar and oil warm potato salad last week. My recipe is very different from yours although it came from my sister's husband grandmother who was German born and married a German born man. I didn't know mayonnaise potato salad was a German thing. Normally I make the mayonnaise type. Enjoyed the video.😊
Sounds great!
I completely understand what you are saying, while in Germany I ate potato salad in different ways. All I can say is they were all good. Enjoyed your video.
You are right! They are all good! Thanks so much for the sweet comment 😊 ~ Anja
That looks so delicious 😋 I need to make it now!
It's so good!
I enjoy both types of potato salad. My grandparents are German & my family served warm German potato salad often. I don’t have the recipe, but I think my mother warmed the dressing too. Warm potato salad is delish
Nice! So glad this video brought back good memories and thank you for sharing ~ Anja
I’m a big fan of any version of potato salad. I grew up on my mom’s recipe which is made to serve cold with boiled egg, green peppers, mayo & mustard . Loved it and still go to this to remember my mother. Will try this warm salad with a very good sausage on the side. Amazing! Thanks for vlog!
What's not to love about mayo-based potato salad ... Thanks for the sweet comment and happy cooking 🧑🍳 ~Anja
Love your German recipes. There is another youtube channel which is also great for german cooking. Kochen mit Muddi....😊
Oh, I might have to check that out! Thanks so much for sharing and for your sweet comment 💛 ~ Anja
My grandparents made potato salad for Christmas - kinda a different mindset then making it for BBQ's here in Canada. I'm sure eggs were a prized thing during the winter if hens didn't lay as much.Their version had potatoes boiled and peeled after the same manner as yours,but diced with diced hard boiled egg as well. The onion was slivered and wilted by salting and presssing them between two plates. The ingredients were mixed together with mayonnaise, splash of pickle brine,sliced pickles and a dash of sugar (which I usually omit,but I like to put herbs) . I've pondered what their version of mayo was ,and when it came onto popularity in Slovakia. I don't know how much oil they would have had there - people used lard for a lot of things. They imported things like lemons from Italy and Spain I presume. I've heard of the salad being made with cream. Over here were so used to the commercial jars of mayonnaise that I don't know when they started the way people make in North America - maybe they used mustard? Aoili is garlic,but people here tend to associate it with garlic mayo. I suppose they may have brought a version to central Europe. My family also makes Fransuzke Zemjake/French Potatoes. I'm sure you recognize the potato,sour cream, onion, boiled egg,paprika dish. Why they call it French I don't know. Maybe like a gratin? My mom made it for some Americans, explained it as potato casserole. I've seen people translate this dish to hot potato salad. It's interesting wondering how certain ingredients travelled from place to place.
I was born and raised in Mainz. We make both versions.. it just depends on the families. My family definitely preferred the mayo based one and always with chopped up pickles and juice from the jar instead of vinegar. My mom eventually exchanged the pickles for cucumbers and that is my absolute favorite way to make my potato salad to this day. The cucumbers just bring in a freshness.. i do still use juice from the pickles jar though. Lol. I've been living in NY for 9 years now and it is getting to be quite exhausting and annoying to have people (most of them never even been to Germany) tell you that your potato salad is not a german potato salad.🙄 The problem is that most Americans only know what their great grandparents or great great grandparents told them or kept going in their families.. and don't understand that things change and even though Germany is much smaller than the US we still have different regions, different traditions and so on.
I replace lids with those from Goodwill. As a bonus, I can choose glass ones that I can see through! Thank you for your lovely site!
Sounds great and thanks for the tip 👍 ~ Anja
Love both kinds of potato salad!!!! Really depends on what else I'm serving as to which type I make.
Glad to hear that! I agree with you, potato salad is always great ~ Anja
My Polish mum made a similar warm potato salad, but no bacon and the onions were always fried, slowly until quite brown and very flavourful. Raw onions only for mayonnaise based cold salad.
Interesting! Thank you so much for sharing 😊 ~ Anja
I am going to try this. I’m not a big fan of mayonnaise. This looks like something that will keep in the refrigerator for a quick meal or side dish for the summer.
So glad you like this recipe and hope you will make it often during the summer ~ Anja
This reminds me of my moms potato salad, altho, I think she added an egg into the dressing somehow! Have you heard of that? She was born and raised in Germany. Thanks for sharing!
That's lovely! Potato salad is such a comfort food, and it's always interesting to hear about family variations. Adding an egg to the dressing is definitely a thing! In Germany, they sometimes use a hard-boiled egg yolk mashed up with mustard and vinegar for a richer, creamier dressing. It sounds like your mom might have done something similar.
Oh mein Papi hat immer den warmen Kartoffel Salad gemacht 🥰
Ich bin von Pullach ( München) Bayern ♥️
Aber Ich mache für meine Familie beide Rezepte!!!
Ach, wie nett! Jeder hat so sein Lieblingsrezept 😊 ~ Anja
Lovely. Thank you more so in know now which s potato to use in the USA. However, for the more memory taste of the onion, Dr. Oetker Schulkochbuch, warms all and every thing up in the broth.
Yes, the gold old Dr. Oetker Schulkochbuch!! Glad you enjoyed this video 😊 ~ Anja
German in laws would now be 104 years old if still living. She made bacon and used the bacon fat and vinegar along with the crumbled bacon and onion and celery. Served warm on same day and cold on second day.
That sounds great! Thank you so much for sharing 😊 ~ Anja
A mushroom "bacon" with toasted mushrooms and liquid smoke might be an interesting vegetarian addition. What kind did you use?
I’m going to try this today
I do love the mayo version though
I hope you'll love it as much as we do. Here's the mayo-based one: ourgabledhome.com/how-to-make-easy-authentic-german-potato-salad/
@@OurGabledHome I made it and it was super good. Now I’m going to make the mayo one. Thank you.
I am going to try this recipe, but I thought it was so funny. She didn’t get Italian parsley in her heirloom, German potato salad. It really made me laugh.
And we also lived by an Amish community. So they have kind of a recipe too I don't know it breaks my heart
Looks delicious. Going to make this for sure. I am from Minnesota. But I wonder if you could share the bran of your t pot. I have a 100 year old hose that it would look cute in
You know me enough to know that I love both… but I use each in different ways. A mayo version for serving with lettuce and soft leafy goods on warm days. For the other 364 days of the year I prefer the warm one. When we lived in the US I was amazed at the size of fruit and veg. I also adapt US recipes - double the onions as ours are smaller just like the German ones. X
Right? Isn't it amazing how big some of the produce is? Anyhow, I like both versions but I may be a bit partial towards the mayo-based one (especially with my homemade mayo). Congrats again on the whiskey certificate ~ Anja
@@OurGabledHome many thanks. I’ll bring the bottles - you make the salad🤣xx
