When you think of potato salad, you might picture the creamy, mayo-laden kind we’re all familiar with at family barbecues. But today, we’re taking a little culinary trip to Germany where they do things a bit differently—and deliciously so—with their potato salad. This version is warm, tangy, and can be a refreshing change of pace. What’s lovely about this dish is its heartiness, which comes from the potatoes, balanced by a zesty vinegar dressing and a good punch of flavor from bacon and onions. It’s perfect for those who prefer a non-mayonnaise-based salad, and it’s a real crowd-pleaser at potlucks and picnics, or even as a comforting side on a chilly evening.
This German potato salad pairs beautifully with grilled bratwurst or any kind of sausage. It’s also right at home next to a juicy pork schnitzel. For a lighter meal, a simple green salad with a mustard vinaigrette complements the flavors wonderfully.
