German Potato Salad (Kartoffelsalat)

(Shared recipe submitted by Raymond Smith.)

Serves about 6

Raymond writes: "Here is a good recipe for German potato salad. I borrowed a few recipes, so I figured I would give one back. Nice thing about it is there is very little fat. Rare for German cooking."

Ingredients

  • 7 large potatoes
  • 1 medium onion
  • 3 to 4 medium dill pickles
  • 4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 3 beef or chicken bouillon cubes
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Peel potatoes and cook until fork-tender. When soft, drain water and mash until lumpy. Keep hot.

Meanwhile, dice the onions and pickles and mix into a bowl (should have roughly equal amounts). Add red wine vinegar and set to the side, mixing on occasion.

Put the bouillon cubes and water in a sauce pan and dissolve over low heat. Pour the bouillon juice over the potatoes while the potatoes are still hot. Add the bowl of onions and pickles, plus a touch of vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Add salt and pepper to taste. If the potatoes are a little dry, add a little water. Serves 4 to 8, depending on appetites.
