German style potato salad. Oma style ๐Ÿ˜‹

in food โ€ขย  8 years agoย 

Many years ago my mum would always make this at home for when we had lots of people over. She always cooked so much food, you would never leave hungry!
I put this on most of my menus as it's a brilliant lunch salad for anytime of year. You can put any meat with it and it just works. It has a very punchy vinegary flavour. Really gets your taste buds watering.

For this salad you will need good starchy potatoes. I love royal blue potatoes, they remind me of the nice yellow spuds you get in Germany.

I dice these up roughly and then fry them off which gives them a nice crunchy texture. It also laminates the colour and they stand out once they are in the salad.

Meanwhile I boil off some eggs, then cool them under cold water which will make them easier to peel.
Once they see peeled I'll put the diced potato in a large bowl with 1 diced red onion, 5 savoury pickles diced, salad cream, red wine vinegar and then grate the egg into that.

Now mix this all together whilst adding a good dash of salt and optional chopped chives or parsley for more colour.

The end result is to die for !!!

Ingredients :
4 royal blue potatoes
5 eggs boiled
2 glasses salad cream
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 savoury pickles
1 diced red onion
Season to taste
