GERMAN POTATO SALAD



German Potato Salad image

The reassurance of potato salad, its portability, conviviality and - depending on the cook - blank slate for creativity have been appealing to Americans since the last half of the 19th century. Immigrants and travelers to America introduced many styles, including variations of salade Nicoise (the French salad of potatoes, olives, green beans and tuna, dressed with vinaigrette), and salade Russe (cubed potatoes, peas and carrots bound with mayonnaise). German settlers brought hot potato salad, and that savory combination of warm potatoes lightly dressed with hot bacon fat and vinegar became entrenched in Pennsylvania and throughout the Midwest. This is an adaptation of a classic version that was first published in the 1931 edition of "The Joy of Cooking."

Time 5h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 slices bacon, strips cut up
1 large onion, chopped
1 lb smoked Polish sausage, cut into 1/2 inch slices
2 lbs medium red potatoes, cut into chunks
1 (10 ounce) can cream of potato soup, undiluted
1 cup sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. remove and drain.
  • Saute onion in the drippings for one minute.
  • Add sausage, cook until lightly browned.
  • Add potatoes, cook 2 minutes longer.
  • Drain. Transfer to a 3 quart slow cooder.
  • In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients.
  • Pour over sausage mixture.
  • Cover and cook for 5-7 hours on low until potatoes are tender.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes: Yukon Gold, red, and fingerling potatoes all work well in this salad. Waxy potatoes hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, so they're less likely to fall apart when cooked.
  • Cook the potatoes until they're just tender: Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and won't hold their shape. To check if the potatoes are done, insert a fork into the center of a potato. If the fork goes in easily, the potatoes are done.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely before slicing them: This will help to prevent them from breaking apart.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the potatoes: This will help to create clean, even slices.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. If you add too much dressing, the salad will be soggy.
  • Serve the salad warm or at room temperature: German potato salad is traditionally served warm, but it can also be served at room temperature.

Conclusion:

German potato salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or a main course. It's perfect for picnics, potlucks, and barbecues. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make this classic German dish at home.
