MAMA'S WARM GERMAN POTATO SALAD
My grandmother, Mama, made this potato salad for every family gathering at her home. The relatives would arrive with their specialties in hand. She never wrote the recipe down, so I had to re-create it from memory. Years later, it's just about right. -Charlene Chambers, Ormond Beach, Florida

WARM GERMAN - AND VEGAN! - POTATO SALAD
This is an adaptation of an older German recipe - specifically, it's veganized! I modified it from the VegFamily website. It takes less than forty minutes, since the sauce is made while the potatoes cook. Enjoy!

WARM GERMAN POTATO SALAD
I came across this recipe while we were in Germany, it is served warm normally but I have served it cold too....So it is good either way...I use the yellow meated potatoes because they have a better flavor in the potato salad...I use the Yukon Gold...I do not have a picture of the dish as of yet so I have a free picture from on...

- 2. Sauté celery, and onion in the bacon grease till they are tender.
- 3. Combine the sugar and flour, add to the skillet with the apple cider vinegar, water, salt and mustard. Stir constantly while cooking till the sauce thickens and comes to a boil.....
- 4. Combine potatoes, carrots and parsley. Pour sauce over the potatoes, carrots and parsley stir carefully while coating the potatoes and carrots and parsley.
- 5. Season to taste with sea salt and fresh ground pepper, crumble bacon on top and serve warm....
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or fingerling potatoes, hold their shape well and are less likely to fall apart when cooked. Avoid starchy potatoes, such as Russet potatoes, which tend to become mushy when cooked.
- Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too small, they will overcook and become mushy. If the pieces are too large, they will take too long to cook and may not be cooked through.
- Boil the potatoes in salted water: This will help to flavor them and prevent them from becoming bland.
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly: Any excess water will dilute the dressing and make the salad watery.
- While the potatoes are still warm, toss them with the dressing: This will help the dressing to coat the potatoes evenly.
- Let the salad cool slightly before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together.
