OMA'S GERMAN POTATO SALAD



Oma's German Potato Salad image

My grandparents immigrated to New York City from Germany in the early 1950s. They became American citizens and raised their children here but always stayed true to their German roots, especially in the kitchen. Today my grandmother (I call her Oma) continues to cook the most delicious and authentic German food. This is Oma's traditional recipe for German potato salad with bacon and fresh herbs. It is a simple and vibrant recipe that can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. - Amanda Catrini, Purchasing Assistant

Time 2h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes (about 4), peeled
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces bacon, cut into 1/2-inch strips
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 scallions, chopped
1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a large pot filled with cold water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and cook until fork-tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Let the potatoes cool for 45 minutes; they will still be warm but will hold their shape when sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate; set aside. Remove the drippings from the pan; return 3 tablespoonfuls and discard the rest.
  • Add the onions to the pan and sweat over medium heat until soft, about 6 minutes. Add the vinegar, mustard, sugar, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more.
  • Add the cooled potatoes, half the cooked bacon, half the scallions, half the parsley and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the pan. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper. Serve garnished with the remaining bacon, scallions and parsley.

Tips:

  • Select the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape well and won't become mushy when boiled. Avoid using starchy potatoes, such as Russet potatoes, as they tend to fall apart when cooked.
  • Boil the potatoes until tender: The potatoes should be fork-tender but not overcooked. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and lose their shape.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade helps to infuse the potatoes with flavor. Be sure to use a marinade that contains acidic ingredients, such as vinegar or lemon juice, to help tenderize the potatoes.
  • Cook the bacon until crispy: Crispy bacon adds a delicious smoky flavor to the potato salad. If you don't have bacon, you can use diced ham or sausage instead.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, and dill, add a bright flavor to the potato salad. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs instead, but be sure to use half the amount.
  • Serve the potato salad warm: German potato salad is traditionally served warm, but it can also be served cold. If you're serving it cold, be sure to chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Mama's Warm German Potato Salad is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy dressing, crispy bacon, and fresh herbs, this potato salad is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying side dish, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
