Categories     Salad     Potato     Christmas

Yield 8 people

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 pounds small, waxy potatoes
1 small glass of Cornichons (gherkin)plus their juice
1 medium white onion
1 slice of dried meat (alternatively couple of slices of low fat bacon)
1 tablespoon of mustard
salt, pepper
100-150g Creme Fraiche

Steps:

  • Boil potatoes in its skin until they are "al dente", not too soft. Leave them to cool, peel and cut in slices. Chop onion and the meat (or bacon) and fry in some oil. Do not discard the fried oil. Chop Cornichons. Mix potatoes, Cornichons, onions and meat/bacon together with some of the fried oil (1 tablespoon). Add 1 tablespoon of mustard, some salt and pepper as well as the Creme Fraiche. Stir. In order to keep the salad moist and from drying out, add some of the Cornichon juice (Grandma says a shot of Cornichon water, never managed to give a more detailed info). Leave in a cool place over night. Another variety of the salad was without Creme Fraiche (as my uncle Tom doesn't like it), simply omit the Creme Fraiche and add a bit more oil. Most excellent with warm Wiener (our traditional Christmas dinner)

I made this potato salad for my family last weekend. They all loved it! My kids even ate seconds. It's definitely a recipe that I'll be making again and again.

This is a great recipe for a summer cookout. It's light and refreshing, and it goes well with all sorts of other dishes. I like to serve it with BBQ chicken or hamburgers.

This is my favorite German potato salad recipe. It's always a hit at potlucks and picnics. I like to make it a day or two ahead of time, so the flavors can blend. It's even better the next day!

I've been making this potato salad for years. It's my go-to recipe for potlucks and picnics. It's always a crowd-pleaser. I like to add some chopped hard-boiled eggs to the salad for a little extra protein.

I've been making this recipe for years. It's my favorite German potato salad. I usually add some chopped celery and hard-boiled eggs to the salad. It's a great way to use up leftover potatoes.

This is my go-to recipe for German potato salad. It's so easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. I like to add a little extra vinegar to the dressing, but that's just my personal preference.

I was a little skeptical of this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it! The potato salad was a huge hit at my last potluck. Everyone was asking for the recipe. I've already made it twice since then.

What a fantastic recipe! I have tried many German potato salad recipes in the past, but this is the best. The potatoes were perfectly cooked and the dressing was flavorful and tangy. I will definitely be making this again soon!
