Thank you for sharing your recipe 's ,Potato salads in summer are great with much competition with the recipes very jealousy guarded, take care God bless.
My family was from Bavaria. The way my Mom made it (always served hot) was 5lbs boiled potatoes (skinned after cooking), 1lb bacon, 1 small white onion, 2 cups Vinegar, 2 cups Sugar, Cornstarch. Cook bacon & remove from pan, cook diced onion in bacon grease. Add vinegar and sugar to grease & onion, stir in cornstarch diluted with water to thicken to a glaze. Add sliced potatoes, and crumpled bacon, stir well and eat immediately.
It is and I do. I took it to my German class picnic in college and our teacher, Frau Mueller, said she had never seen it made that way. When I told her where my relatives had migrated from she said "Ah, Bavaria, that explains it." I wish there was a good German restaurant in St Louis Missouri.
I miss Brotchen. We have people that attempt to make them, but it's not the same. It might be the flour available in the US that messes it up. I use green onions in my German Potato Salad. I make it like your Family does. So good!
This is what my family called "German" potato salad. Mom always had a one liter jar of the vinegar, cornstarch, sugar and bacon in the fridge to quickly make "real" German potato salad!
My mom has been doing something similar to the last one - we used red potatoes and boil them, then cube them (leaving the skin on) sauté onions and then put the potatoes in with the onions and then she mixes Mayo, onion relish, colmans mustard or Dijon and smoked paprika! And serve warm! So yum!
As I sam Irish American I got along quite well with the many wonderful ways that Germans prepared potatoes...except no eggs for me which seems to be common there. I especially love hot German-style potato salad...mit Speck! Vielen dank!
I just made the Northern German Potato 🥔 Salad and it turned out fantastic! I used golden potatoes because that’s what I have here in Ohio, USA. Absolutely delicious! 😋
I grew up with a potato salad my mom made for xmas. It was par cooked potatoes,miracle whip, cubed american cheese, bacon, onion cooked in bacon fat, green olives halved, s and p all mixed up and baked
Thank you! My Grandma would always use miracle whip in the potato salad & we never knew why. Being raised in the south we are mayonnaise people so it seemed very odd, but now it makes sense!
Very interesting! My Father's German side of the family (Neubauer) has made a German potato salad very similar to the Bavarian style. As you stated, many family recipes have their own ways of preparation. My mother got the recipe from my Great Gramma and I still make it to this day!! Simple but delicious. My Great Gram used vinegar and dry mustard (in the place of pickles and prepared mustard, I'm guessing) along with the bacon. Always served warm with parsley and a touch of sugar in the recipe. SO good!! Thanks for sharing these recipes!.
You are right, I think almost every family has they own recepie .Since I grew up in Berlin, my mom would make hers with ..potatoes , of course , then she would use pickles , garlic , onion , salt , pepper and mayo , but all of them look delish ! Thanks for the vid !
I dont know what my Aunt Emmy did to her hot German potato salad but it was the best! I still remember her making it when I was a child. The family were Berliners.
We do the creamy version, most often. We use chopped hard boiled egg, pickles or relish, celery, green onion or chives, and dill weed. Top with paprika. If it's more vinegarette style...I like rice vinegar, evoo, celery, onion or chives. That's served hot or cold. Both salads have garlic and onion powder, sea salt and black pepper added into the dressing part.
Thank you for sharing, highly appreciated.👍 The northern style is made in my family usually, sometimes I added almond, cashew nuts, pecan nuts and raisins; but when it’s summer, without mayo, put olive oil and vinegar. Sometimes I clean potato with brush, keep peel & cut it into small blocks.
I like the Northern style. That's the kind my wife makes. Although it can be eaten straight away, I find it's better if it sits in the frig at least overnight.
It is best to leave out the eggs until consumption, pro tip from a german chef... Because they tend to get slimy over time and the best potato salad is one that is 1-2 days old.
Hi 👋 CtW , frome Los Angeles . Thank You for Your Video . I make My Potato Salad with Regular plain Best Foods Mayonnaise , Dijon ( It has to be Grey Poupon ) , lil fresh minced Red Onion , lil Paprika ( to garnish Top ) , lil Cayenne , lil Tabasco Hot Sauce , Salt and Pepper , Hard Boiled Eggs , maybe some Fresh Parsley and or Sour Creme if I have . Better the next Day . Always get compliments on . Definitely the Dijon I prefer , over the regular Yellow Mustard , even though I like that style of Potato Salad too🤍
Hello ! Good to see you again .. I picked up some real German sweet mustard at Aldi’s yesterday and I love it !. When I was over there I did not get to try your potato salad but we use to have it for our a First Class passengers back when I was a Flight Attendant. However it was made in the In-Flight kitchens so it may not have been the real thing. This is how I grew up with it here in the US. 5lb red potatoes 5 eggs 2 or 3 stocks of celery 2 slices of onion About 2/3 Qt. of mayo Splash of vinegar Salt & pepper Fresh Parsley Paprika Cut small the celery, onion and eggs. Cube the potatoes. To make it easer to mix, layer all these ingredients in a large bowl. In separate bowl add mayo and Vinegar to taste along with salt. Add mixture to potatoes along with fresh parsley and mix. Top with paprika Have a great weekend ! Cheers !
We didnt have the stalk celery up until maybe 20 years ago in Germany, traditionally we have Celeriac here, used in soups... I hate both 😅. The recipes in the video are traditional. But even in Germany, everybody is free to make up their own family recipe and pass it down and the proof is in taking it to a barbeque or birthday and see which salad gets eaten the most, as it is with every dish everywhere in the world. So you do you and enjoy ❤
My mother- in,-law was North German (Berlin) and made mayo but I prefer the oil and gherkin mix, preferably sitting for a few hours, for me much more flavourful.😊 Thank you for the upload.
Thanks for watching. I always change my mind when is about the potato salad. With Frankfurter I have a Mayo one, for grill party I am making the oil one. No one can be wise 🤣
I made thie Barvarian salad. I followed the link to your webpage X3 on the vinegar doesn’t work, x3 everything else is fine but I’d keep it at 1 tbsp vinegar. Thank goodness we managed to salvage in time and because salvaged they were fabulous and no good for my waist line.
My wife is in CUXHAVEN this Christmas, and I’m stuck in NY.. We are having the same Christmas eve, and Christmas dinner..They are making it , and I’m copying it so it can feel like we are together.. Frankfurters and potato salad on the 24th, Duck , boiled potatoes, red cabbage of the 25th., and the Stollen.. I found Stollen and it cost me $40 usd..🤯
I moved to the US three years ago and now that I am getting older I start missing the food I grew up on. So now I learn how to cook German on UA-cam lol. Unfortunately everything is so heavy on meat... I will prepare tonight the Bavarian kind without bacon but with pickles lol. Will see how the hubby likes it 😋
Millions of germans immigrated to the US over the centuries as there are many american foods that are descendants of german foods like chicken fried steak- schnitzel, potato salad - kartoffelsalat, hot dogs - wurst im brotchen, hamburger steak/salisbury steak -frikadellen, bratwurst- bratwürste, soft pretzel - laugenbrezel, jelly doughnuts- Pfannkucken/berliner, sauerkraut- sauerkraut, potato dumplings - Kartoffelkloesse, cabbage rolls - kohlrouladen, goulash - gulasch, potato soup - Sächsische Kartoffelsuppe etc. you just have to look.
Video gives a good overview over the different types. In Bavaria they sometimes also use caraway (which is terrible for me). I prefer the Northern style. I prepare the mayonnaise by myself and add some milk to make it a little bit more liquid so that the sauce can be soaked by the potatoes. I also don't slice the potatoes - I dice them; it creates a larger surface for the soaking. For the soaking process you should put the salad into the fridge for some hours. Guten Appetit!
Instead of milk in Germany we use some pickle juice to make the mayo more liquidy... And the Swabonian Potato Salad normally has Stock,chicken or vegg...
A German friend of mine years ago taught me how to make the northern kind, but I didn't know it was specific to the north. For years people have been trying to tell me it's not German because it has mayo in it. I'm happy to see videos about this now and now I can explain that it is the northern variety.
Germans just love their potatos. I accept all kinds of potatos salad, but for hot Summer days or like keeping leftovers for some days I would prefer a vinegar based one 🙈 My Bavarian Version includes in Summer cucumber and a lot of parslay. It is fresh and relativly light for potatos salad. Dressing with vinegar, onion and sweet mustard thinned woth vegetable broth.
It is North and Midwest German, my Prussian Grandmas traditional recipe is the same as in the video, Apples Onions Eggs and Pickles Mayo, a little mustard and pickle juice and Marjoram! Im full German in Germany,i should know. The southern German style is without Mayo. They are only ignorant that there is another way.
My best girlfriend makes a hot German potato salad with NO mayonnaise. It’s my favorite, she uses Yukon golds I think? Or those little red ones. She adds scallions and parsley finely minced and Italian salad dressing? I’m not really sure, oil and vinegar type dressing. It’s so good. Salt and pepper of course.
We don’t use miracle whip in my family, my mom used to be sneaky about potato salad, lol. We only use Best Foods (Hellman’s) and never knew she was taking three tiny baby sweet gherkin pickles minced ever so finely in her classic American potato salad. We were shocked! We are a dill pickle family, lol. I like sliced black olives and finely diced red onion in mine, a dollop of yellow mustard, and sliced hard boiled eggs. It’s been a family favorite for most of my Life and I’m 65 yrs old. ❤️ sharing food with friends and family is how we say I love you. Right?
My ex husband once made a German potato salad which I haven't seen since. It was made from large chunks of red potatoes with the skin on, plus 1" long pieces of blanched green beans, plus white, yellow, or sweet onion slivers, plus chopped up bacon pieces, and all dressed with a vinaigrette made from quality balsamic. It was really flavorful, and as is true with most potato salads, even better the next day!
@@cooking-the-world I like your channel, looks like some very good dishes, I am going to sub. We have German Communities around here and the food is always good. Have a nice day.
@ Crunch Munch I agree, we never made the potato salad with herring but sometimes we had the potato salad and herring, like rollmops or Bismarck Herring especially a day after a big party
I’m from southern Ohio in the US, which was a HUGE destination for German immigrants, and the potato salad made where I’m from is very similar to the northern German variety
Sorry, aber beim schwäbischen Kartoffelsalat werden die Scheiben, der Kartoffeln, sehr viel dünner geschnitten, das habe ich als Nichtschwäbin, auch erst lernen müssen. Er schmeckt dafür auch sehr viel besser 😉 Wenn er dann noch " schlotzig " ist, ist er perfekt 😀🤤
Oma is what my nieces and nephew call my mom!!!! That’s so funny! I loved my grams potato salad... it was do hard to wait until the b bf etc day for it!
@@cooking-the-world Not trying to put a burden on you, but the German Nazis killed my people in Sicily in WW2. The Germans killed a lot of Jews and also Southern Italians.
Most of what we see here in New England, US, as German potato salad is the Swabian variety. But the Bavarian sounds great, & we'd like to try it. What would you recommend for the pickles? Is there a preferred German style pickle, or would US dills or cornicons work? Now to find the right potatoes....
istg most people are fully sleeping on putting apples in the northern style potato salad (which is way superior imo)!! i rarely ever see anyone use apples but they make it literally 100x better! :D
for the Bavarian potato salad, are the pickles sweet or sour/dill? Amazon has these mini Gherkin German pickles which are dill. those look good. my dad used to make a warm German potato salad with onion and bacon and an oil and vinegar dressing. and he may have even used some of the bacon fat in the dressing. but he didn't use pickles.
@@cooking-the-world thanks. and I was thinking the same thing about the pickles lol. I might add some fresh or dried dill week and see how that works. and then try again with pickles.
My Aunt Ingrid, Taught me how to make her, German potato salad when I was very young. She used Yukon Gold potatoes, bacon, onion, sugar vinegar, and a touch of water. Never used any pickles in her salad. I also lived in Berlin and loved eating donor kebab, Do you have a recipe for the one in Berlin?
@@cooking-the-world as a Japanese that grew up with Kewpie it would be great to get your seal of approval! I can't really find other varieties that don't suck.
Miracle Whip supposedly a substitute for mayonnaise- it is lighter in density than Mayo but more sugar than Mayo. If you grew up in US South or Texas you know Miracle Whip
I am East Frisian and I do not know meat or herring in potato salad. but a shot of cucumber water over the potatoes gives a great taste, and the mayonaise or miracel whip can be diluted with broth if there is am becomes too greasy.
My great grandma made the best potato salad.. unfortunately befire she passed I didn't get the recipe 😭 Every recipe I've found serves hot..but hers were cold.. also they never sounded anything like hers. I'm thinking the northern recipe sounds the most familiar..minus pickles bc I don't remember that!? Either way, thank you so very much! Do you have any idea on how to make german noodles! She made turn with a press..( had holes in a round smasher) ? Thank you!!
Oh, shame you didn't get the recipe. In Germany we eat usually eat cold potato salads, I will be honest - I have never had a warm one before. I guess here in Frankfurt and in places where I travelled is not common to eat it. For the noodles, you mean Swabian Spätzle? Those are easy to make, if you have right tools. Here in Germany we use Spätzlepresse (like your grandmother), Spätzleschaber (it's like a wooden board with scraper) or Spätzlehobel. Spätzlepresse makes long noodles, Spätzlehobel short noodles and Spätzleschaber is only for those who knows how to use it properly (I find the other two much easier in use). So I would recommend to get or lend either Spätzlepresse or Spätzlehobel and give it a go! The dough is sticky but it doesn't take that long to make and it's delicious! You can also freeze Spätzle for up to 3 months.
My grandmothers potato salad was similar w/o bacon too... and we still have her spatzles maker... grams were so good... (it may have been all the butter she used... lol)
What is german mustard, is that more like regular Frenchies or more like Dijon or on its own? I watched a few videos but they never show what the container looks like or name of the brand that it is.
It’s hard to compare the taste of German mustard to anything else. But I have done the whole video about the most popular varieties and how to use them in cooking not that long ago. Just search for „German mustard“. I also included links to Amazon where you can get the original German products!
More like Dijon, but yes quite unique. In the USA I find it at Food Bazar. It comes ins a mini beer glass that can be reused! Delicious! On the miracle whip! No! I don’t even think that evil concussion exists in Germany. I hope not anyway!
The sauce is made by frying bacon, then remove bacon, add onions, the sauce is 1 cup of water, 1/2 half vinegar,1/4 cup of sugar and add crumbled bacon and onion along with droppings. Bring to boil and add flour to thicken then pour over hot potatoes, add salt to taste.
I believe my mother used to make a potato salad with raw egg white? Is that a variation that you've ever heard about? Whatever it was it was absolutely delicious!
@@cooking-the-world In Canada we have bread and butter pickles which are sweet! We also have tiny gherkins which are also sweet. The dill pickles come with or without garlic. Thanks for your response , I guess I will use the garlic dills that I have in the fridge!
My Oma used to make a creamy German potato salad and I never got the recipe she was from “Braunschweig”. I grew up in Kentucky, US where we have a large German population but my Oma was the only one I knew who made this kind of potato salad. Does anyone possibly know how to make this or a similar variation of creamy potato salad
The dressing for the potato salad the my family makes has sour cream as the main ingredient as well as some mayo, pickles, cucumbers, radishes, onions, crunchy bacon, mustard, and boiled eggs. The fried bacon is the last thing added along with the bacon grease. I’ve also had Swabian potato salad with just vinegar, oil, onions and dill. It was very tasty.
I mention vinegar in the lower third, in the overview of potato salads that come from South Germany and in the written recipe, I am sorry it’s not clear enough and you have missed it.
Which German Potato Salad would you like to prepare this season?
Think I’ll try Bavarian style for Fathers Day, but Grandma always made a delicious northern style. Thanks for passing on your recipes.
Thank you for sharing your recipe 's ,Potato salads in summer are great with much competition with the recipes very jealousy guarded, take care God bless.
Sie haben eine super Akzent wenn du Englisch sprichst. Woher aus Deutschland kommst du?
Raised with the northern style. Wondering if it was handed down. Found it in a Betty Crocker cookbook. Thanks for sharing.
@@gary3561 i think Poland
I'm from the Milwaukee area and the Bavarian potato salad is what is sold as German potato salad in the grocery stores.
My family was from Bavaria. The way my Mom made it (always served hot) was 5lbs boiled potatoes (skinned after cooking), 1lb bacon, 1 small white onion, 2 cups Vinegar, 2 cups Sugar, Cornstarch. Cook bacon & remove from pan, cook diced onion in bacon grease. Add vinegar and sugar to grease & onion, stir in cornstarch diluted with water to thicken to a glaze. Add sliced potatoes, and crumpled bacon, stir well and eat immediately.
Sounds delicious. I hope that you keep the recipe and prepare it once a while to keep the tradition alive.
It is and I do. I took it to my German class picnic in college and our teacher, Frau Mueller, said she had never seen it made that way. When I told her where my relatives had migrated from she said "Ah, Bavaria, that explains it." I wish there was a good German restaurant in St Louis Missouri.
That is the exact same recipe my family makes. It is amazing!
I miss Brotchen. We have people that attempt to make them, but it's not the same. It might be the flour available in the US that messes it up. I use green onions in my German Potato Salad. I make it like your Family does. So good!

Ooh yum 😍 I need to remember to make these during bbq season! I love vinegar so I must say the south German style looks the best to me 🤩
I think the Germans had a big influence on South Carolina style barbecue. It’s nice if you want to mix it up sometimes.
So I know where I will be heading for food if traveling in The US :)
Try a mayo based dressing with a boiled sausage on the side...good mustard ..... and a slice of proper German bread.
Stick to your ribs stuff!

It was made from large chunks of red potatoes with the skin on, plus 1" long pieces of blanched green beans, plus white, yellow, or sweet onion slivers, plus chopped up bacon pieces, and all dressed with a vinaigrette made from quality balsamic. It was really flavorful, and as is true with most potato salads, even better the next day!
I see some personal touches on this one ;) and yes, you are right - the potato Salat need some resting so the flavors combine a bit!
They all look delicious..................minus the herring. I like fish but probably not with my potato salad. :-) Great video.
Thank you :) I agree with the herring :D
@@cooking-the-world I like your channel, looks like some very good dishes, I am going to sub. We have German Communities around here and the food is always good. Have a nice day.
@ Crunch Munch
I agree, we never made the potato salad with herring but sometimes we had the potato salad and herring, like rollmops or Bismarck Herring especially a day after a big party
I’m from southern Ohio in the US, which was a HUGE destination for German immigrants, and the potato salad made where I’m from is very similar to the northern German variety
The potato salad common to the all of the US is the mayo based one of northern german descent
My mother would make her potato salad with fried onion as well. Her grandfather was from Denmark and her grandmother was from Meckenheim.
Thats great idea for those who doesn't like raw onions! I bet it tastes delicious!
Sorry, aber beim schwäbischen Kartoffelsalat werden die Scheiben, der Kartoffeln, sehr viel dünner geschnitten, das habe ich als Nichtschwäbin, auch erst lernen müssen. Er schmeckt dafür auch sehr viel besser 😉 Wenn er dann noch " schlotzig " ist, ist er perfekt 😀🤤
Noch dünner?:) Ich werde Schneidemaschine benutzen müssen;) Danke für den Tipp.
@@cooking-the-world 🤗♥️
@@cooking-the-world nee, einfach die Kartoffelreibe!
So much like my grandmother... grated onion, oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, sugar, chopped chives and parsley... hers was the best...
Nothing beats Oma Cooking 😍
Oma is what my nieces and nephew call my mom!!!! That’s so funny! I loved my grams potato salad... it was do hard to wait until the b bf etc day for it!

Not trying to put a burden on you, but the German Nazis killed my people in Sicily in WW2.
The Germans killed a lot of Jews and also Southern Italians.
North Pot The Best Mayo Always . Looks like Peruvian Peruvian Pot Salad Alles Gute
Explains why I love egg in mine, as my pop is from Eggesin (northern Germany)
You will have to ask your taste buds about that 😉
Most of what we see here in New England, US, as German potato salad is the Swabian variety. But the Bavarian sounds great, & we'd like to try it. What would you recommend for the pickles? Is there a preferred German style pickle, or would US dills or cornicons work? Now to find the right potatoes....
Cornichons will be just fine! I am sure if you Google waxy potatoes and the name of the country you will find some varieties ☺️ good luck 🍀
I live in the south in the states and our potato salad is very similar to the northern Germany potato salad.
😍
istg most people are fully sleeping on putting apples in the northern style potato salad (which is way superior imo)!! i rarely ever see anyone use apples but they make it literally 100x better! :D
Thanks for the tip!
for the Bavarian potato salad, are the pickles sweet or sour/dill? Amazon has these mini Gherkin German pickles which are dill. those look good.
my dad used to make a warm German potato salad with onion and bacon and an oil and vinegar dressing. and he may have even used some of the bacon fat in the dressing. but he didn't use pickles.
Sour dill is the right choice. Maybe he or somebody in the family didn’t like them therefore the recipe is without them:)
@@cooking-the-world thanks. and I was thinking the same thing about the pickles lol. I might add some fresh or dried dill week and see how that works. and then try again with pickles.
My Aunt Ingrid, Taught me how to make her, German potato salad when I was very young. She used Yukon Gold potatoes, bacon, onion, sugar vinegar, and a touch of water. Never used any pickles in her salad. I also lived in Berlin and loved eating donor kebab, Do you have a recipe for the one in Berlin?
The Japanese Mayo, Kewpie, is great fo potato salad.
I will be looking for Kewpie in the Asian Supermarket in this case ;)
@@cooking-the-world as a Japanese that grew up with Kewpie it would be great to get your seal of approval! I can't really find other varieties that don't suck.
Miracle Whip supposedly a substitute for mayonnaise- it is lighter in density than Mayo but more sugar than Mayo. If you grew up in US South or Texas you know Miracle Whip
Lots of americans of german descent in Texas
I am East Frisian and I do not know meat or herring in potato salad. but a shot of cucumber water over the potatoes gives a great taste, and the mayonaise or miracel whip can be diluted with broth if there is am becomes too greasy.
I'm not sure if we have waxy potatoes here in the USA. We do have "new" red potatoes and Yukon Gold.. Hoping those work...
Just use newer ones for boiling as opposed to ones for mash
My great grandma made the best potato salad.. unfortunately befire she passed I didn't get the recipe 😭
Every recipe I've found serves hot..but hers were cold.. also they never sounded anything like hers. I'm thinking the northern recipe sounds the most familiar..minus pickles bc I don't remember that!? Either way, thank you so very much! Do you have any idea on how to make german noodles! She made turn with a press..( had holes in a round smasher) ? Thank you!!
Oh, shame you didn't get the recipe. In Germany we eat usually eat cold potato salads, I will be honest - I have never had a warm one before. I guess here in Frankfurt and in places where I travelled is not common to eat it. For the noodles, you mean Swabian Spätzle? Those are easy to make, if you have right tools. Here in Germany we use Spätzlepresse (like your grandmother), Spätzleschaber (it's like a wooden board with scraper) or Spätzlehobel. Spätzlepresse makes long noodles, Spätzlehobel short noodles and Spätzleschaber is only for those who knows how to use it properly (I find the other two much easier in use). So I would recommend to get or lend either Spätzlepresse or Spätzlehobel and give it a go! The dough is sticky but it doesn't take that long to make and it's delicious! You can also freeze Spätzle for up to 3 months.
My grandmothers potato salad was similar w/o bacon too... and we still have her spatzles maker... grams were so good... (it may have been all the butter she used... lol)
What is german mustard, is that more like regular Frenchies or more like Dijon or on its own? I watched a few videos but they never show what the container looks like or name of the brand that it is.
It’s hard to compare the taste of German mustard to anything else. But I have done the whole video about the most popular varieties and how to use them in cooking not that long ago. Just search for „German mustard“. I also included links to Amazon where you can get the original German products!
More like Dijon, but yes quite unique. In the USA I find it at Food Bazar. It comes ins a mini beer glass that can be reused! Delicious! On the miracle whip! No! I don’t even think that evil concussion exists in Germany. I hope not anyway!
❤❤❤❤
The sauce is made by frying bacon, then remove bacon, add onions, the sauce is 1 cup of water, 1/2 half vinegar,1/4 cup of sugar and add crumbled bacon and onion along with droppings. Bring to boil and add flour to thicken then pour over hot potatoes, add salt to taste.
got a question have you tried #readpotatosalad which is canned?
I don’t know what that is
@@cooking-the-world already made German potato salad in a can.
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
I and my family love your recipe
Which recipe?
German breakfast
I believe my mother used to make a potato salad with raw egg white? Is that a variation that you've ever heard about? Whatever it was it was absolutely delicious!
No. Them seem to like adding raw
Eggs to dressing in your family ;)
@@cooking-the-world i just could be very mistaken about it. My sister does not recall it.
Mayonnaise-based potato salads are my favorites. Heavy, whole egg mayo, not the runny dressing type. I've always hated Miracle Whip and won't use it.
Do you use dill pickles or sweet pickles in the potato salad?
Dill pickles! I don’t know the other once ;)
@@cooking-the-world In Canada we have bread and butter pickles which are sweet! We also have tiny gherkins which are also sweet. The dill pickles come with or without garlic. Thanks for your response , I guess I will use the garlic dills that I have in the fridge!
What type pickles do you use?
Pickled cucumbers, or gherkins - I think that would be the right word to describe them ☺️
mmMMMmmm going to try the Swaibian potato salad. Can I ask why do you boil the potatoes in their skin? Thank you.
It’s healthier, they have much better taste and consistency.
I make mine with onion mayonnaise mustard and sweet
I'm from Texas and it isn't necessarily a Texas thing.
Totally love your accent. Woher aus Deutschland kommst du?
Oh well, the accent is a mixture of German, Polish, Australian and Italian, as I speak few languages fluently. Wir sind aus Frankfurt :)
@@cooking-the-world it sounds very unique and has a great twang. I have family in Hessen (Gießen) snd i moved to Düsseldorf in 2011
My mothers was potatoes....onion.....vinegar....oil...salt ...pepper. Always at Christmas
How lovely! With a sausage?
@@cooking-the-world frankfurters. I was born in Frankfort as was she
My Oma used to make a creamy German potato salad and I never got the recipe she was from “Braunschweig”. I grew up in Kentucky, US where we have a large German population but my Oma was the only one I knew who made this kind of potato salad. Does anyone possibly know how to make this or a similar variation of creamy potato salad
Aus Baverian
Onion salt pepper
Olive oil pour by our slices cooked warm to cool potatoes mix it up
Vinegar pickle juice mix it. Up taste it
Thanks for sharing :) Does the olive oil work for you in German potato salad?
What is miracle whip?
Miracel Whit is a sauce condiment, that looks like mayo.
The dressing for the potato salad the my family makes has sour cream as the main ingredient as well as some mayo, pickles, cucumbers, radishes, onions, crunchy bacon, mustard, and boiled eggs. The fried bacon is the last thing added along with the bacon grease. I’ve also had Swabian potato salad with just vinegar, oil, onions and dill. It was very tasty.
Bacon with bacon grease sound like a dream. Thanks for sharing :)
Yuck
quick potato slices, press the potatoes through with an egg cutter, always the same thickness and many slices at once
Any suggestions on using Maggi in those?
I wouldn’t. But you can experiment with that:) and don’t forget to let me know how it tasted!
Cooking the World - Couldn’t find any Maggi locally, but it turned out delicious without it. Thanks for showing me how it’s done.
@@BrandonTWills
Walmart has Maggi, I bought it there - look around in the spanish food isle or order it online
Baerbel Scott - Thanks for the tips.
@@BrandonTWills
You are very welcome, hope you will find it
What kind of broth for the Schwabian potato salad? How much?
The link to the recipe is in the description box.
Never, ever, Miracle Whip!!
Hahaha! You can try to convince my 90 years old Oma Rosi to change her recipe. Good luck with it! 😂
Italian n married a German. So I gotta learn
Hahahahahaha! That would be nice Carlie. I think your husband will appreciate.
???? I am Swabian and I never seen a potato salad without vinegar. The dressing is broth, vinegar and oil.
I mention vinegar in the lower third, in the overview of potato salads that come from South Germany and in the written recipe, I am sorry it’s not clear enough and you have missed it.
