GRILLED GERMAN POTATO SALAD



Grilled German Potato Salad image

The usually undercooked potatoes and lack of mayo characteristic of German potato salad have usually hindered my appreciation for this dish. So in my version, the potatoes are grilled over some smoky coals until tender. Best enjoyed warm, or at least room temp, this is the perfect addition to a sunny picnic table.

MICHAEL SYMON'S SMASHED AND FRIED POTATOES RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Michael Symon's Smashed and Fried Potatoes Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by Venzie

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds Sweet and/or Yukon Gold Potatoes
small bundle Thyme
4 sprigs Rosemary
4 cloves Garlic (smashed)
Salt
1/4 cup Chicken Fat
freshly Ground Pepper
Parmesan (to garnish)

Steps:

  • In a large dutch oven, place the potatoes with enough water to cover them by a few inches. Add the thyme, rosemary, and garlic. Salt the water, then bring to a boil. Gently boil until the potatoes are cooked through and tender, about 30 minutes, then drain remaining water. Place the same pan back on medium high heat with the potatoes in it. Let the potatoes dry out for a minute, letting any water evaporate. Add the chicken fat to the pan and once it has melted, begin to slightly flatten the potatoes with the bottom of a smaller pot or ramekin. Make sure to keep the potatoes in an even layer. Brown for about 5 minutes, then flip. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the potatoes are golden brown. Serve with grated parmesan to garnish.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes. This will give your salad a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include Yukon Gold, red potatoes, and fingerling potatoes.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are tender, but not mushy. You want them to be able to hold their shape when you toss them with the dressing.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely before dressing them. This will help the dressing to adhere to the potatoes.
  • Use a good quality vinegar. A good vinegar will add a bright, tangy flavor to your dressing. Some good options include apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar, and balsamic vinegar.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. This is a great way to customize your salad to your own taste.
  • Serve the salad warm or at room temperature. This is the best way to enjoy the flavors of the salad.

Conclusion:

German potato salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or a main course. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a German potato salad that will impress your family and friends.
