A German style potatoe salad

[bill ace 350]

Made it for a work function tomorrow.

Yukon Gold potatoes, bacon/bacon grease, red onion, vinegar, sugar, pepper, parsley. Plenty of salt from the bacon. Can always add later. Pretty tasty if I say so myself.

We love potato salad, but I really like it warm...

Love a good German style potato salad. Lack of mayo and the fact that it's generally served warm puts some people off, but not me.

Looks delicious Bill. Love me some vinegar potatoes. Nice work.

Love German potato salad!! That looks great! First mate I worked with on a Tug years ago used to make it a lot! Always looked forward to it when he was making it! I need to make a batch up.

 

[Fueling Around]

I like all style of potato salad.
I do have an extra fondness for German style especially after eating the mayo with potato salads some people make and proudly serve.

I'm with you on that note. I'm amazed by the people that still add more.

Love a warm potato salad, especially in the fall/winter. I like a bit more salt but in my salad that comes from my sauce which has 1/4 cup of beef bouillon (for a two serving batch) made a bit strong along with the vinegar and mustard...and bacon of course.

Have you ever tried warm spinach salad with bacon? Kind of in the same lane.

I was on Culinary Team that travelled to Germany in 2004 for the Culinary Olympics. Our team host Uwe, made the most spectacular potato salad I have ever had. It was a warm potato salad. His trick was to put pickle juice in the water he was boiling the potato in. Much different that just adding chopped pickles to the salad.

Looks great! That's probably one of my favorite styles of potato salad.

I often add some pickle juice. I didn't have any available this time.

I love German Potato Salad and yours looks great!

That looks like a great potato salad. It is always fun to try some different potato salad recipes. Getting people to eat your "new" potato salad can be a challenge sometimes. People seem to get attached to potato salad recipes like some kind of cult following.

My mom and grandma (dad's mom) both made different, yet excellent, potato salad. There was a rivalry over these 2 different recipes that never was resolved. You were in one camp or the other.

Also, those camps want nothing to do with my or anyone else's potato salad recipes, opinions, or input. It's a closed potato salad society...lol

I make many different recipes and enjoy them, but as they say, "no man is known as a profit among his family or his friends."

Love me some potatoes , and this is right up my alley.

I could eat a mess of that. Looks great.
Almost like a potato hash we had as kids. With the added vinegar, makes it even better for me.

Mmmm, love a nice potato salad. Nice work, I'd take a healthy serving!

 

[zwiller]

Looks GREAT! I'd tear that up! We add hard boiled egg to ours here. That and a little stock/boullion. Now, chicken beef or veal? That's up to you (and HOTLY debated between relatives).

There are a bunch of different german tater salad recipe in the various books I have. Each region basically has they're own variant and they all seem tasty. As was said, pickles in a few. One I have my eyes one has radish and sausage (weisswurst) in it.

Much like German sausages, each region has their own variation on what is called the same sausage.

 

[bigfurmn]

Yup ill take about 5 pounds of that. Looks incredible.

Agreed, but the one Bill (NOT Brian LOL) made is the most popular. You can find it in the store sold by Reads. Pretty good actually. I know everyone likes to make it with other german stuff but I actually like it with American fares like burgers and dogs. Oh yeah some sweetcorn and some sour cream+1+dill cukes. That's how I grew up on it, getting at holiday cook outs.
