Kartoffelsalat Sueddeutsche Art (Warm South German Potato Salad)
Kartoffelsalat Sueddeutsche Art (Warm South German Potato Salad) is German home cooking, eaten at lunch and dinner. On the plate it is the carb everything else is eaten with. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 2 lb waxy potatoes
- 3/4 cup beef broth
- 3 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 3 oz diced bacon (Speck)
- 2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
How to cook it
- Put the potatoes in a pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, until just fork-tender.
- While the potatoes cook, warm the beef broth in a small saucepan and whisk in the vinegar and mustard.
- Cook the diced bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 4 minutes, then add the onion and cook for 2 minutes more, until softened.
- Drain the potatoes, peel them while still warm, and slice them into a large bowl.
- Pour the warm broth mixture, the bacon and onion, and the oil over the warm potato slices and toss gently, letting the potatoes soak up the dressing.
- Season with the salt and pepper, scatter the chives over the top, and serve warm; this Bavarian style is dressed with broth and vinegar, not mayonnaise, and is genuinely a different dish from its northern cousin.
