German Kartoffelsalat (German potato salad)

We’re now heading to Europe for one of the recipes I wanted to share as one of my 25 dishes for the cookbook.

Ingredient

Food ration :

6 servings

1 bag

cold water (enough water to cover and cook potatoes)

1 teaspoon

fine salt (add to the water for cooking potatoes)

medium white or red onion, finely sliced

8-10

pickled cornichons, finely sliced

1/2-1 cup

Thomy mustard (or Dijon mustard)

1/2 teaspoon

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Wash the potatoes and drain excess water in a colander. Cut the potatoes in half and set aside.

* Step 2

In a large pot, add cold water. Place the potatoes in the pot and add salt. Cover pot with a lid and bring up to the boil. Once the water has boiled, remove the lid and cook potatoes until soft, roughly 10 minutes.

* Step 3

To test if potatoes are cooked, use a pointed knife and poke a potato with the tip. If it goes in and slides out easily, the potatoes are ready. Turn off the heat and drain potatoes in a colander. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and set aside to let them cool down.

* Step 4

Meanwhile, finely slice the onion and cornichons and transfer to the same bowl.

* Step 5

Once the potatoes have cooled down, add to the mixing bowl with the onions and cornichons and mix together.

* Step 6

Now add mayonnaise and a dollop of mustard (I used Thomy mustard). Stir together. Add white ground pepper and salt to taste and gently incorporate together.

* Step 7

Lastly, add the white wine vinegar. Mix well and taste the potato salad. Adjust taste if needed (add more mayo, salt or white pepper, depending on preference). Transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with finely cut chives (if adding).

* Step 8

Place in fridge for an hour or two or eat immediately (depending on preference). Eat the potato salad as a side dish, with any kind of meat. I love eating it with pork schnitzel or sausages.
