Swabian Potato Salad

Course Side Dish
Cuisine German
Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  • 500 g potatoes waxy
  • 1 onion medium
  • 150 ml broth beef
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 2 tbsp oil sunflower
  • nutmeg optional

Instructions

  • Cook jacket potatoes for 15-20 minutes (depending on size). Make sure the potatoes are tender, but not too soft, so they keep their shape when slicing.
  • Drain the cooked potatoes and let them cool down a bit for 15 minutes. Peel the skin off and slice them into half cm wide slices.
  • Chop the onions.

Prepare your dressing

  • Heat up your broth in a small pot. When it starts to boil, turn the heat off, and add the onions, as well as white wine vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt and pepper.
  • Pour the dressing over the potatoes and let it rest in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  • Before serving add the oil and mix the salad well.
  • Correct the seasoning. Add nutmeg if you like!

Notes

If you are making potato salad one day ahead I would prepare more dressing, as the potatoes will soak most of it.
