Try one of these traditional German foods for your next gathering, and be sure to try the variations listed in the hints below each recipe. The potato salad shown below even has sweet potatoes in it.
You can use new potatoes unpeeled. If you use older potatoes, cook unpeeled in water to cover until tender (gently pierce with a knife to check). Depending on their size, this can take from 15 - 30 minutes. Do not overcook or they may fall apart. (Even if they do, you can still use them!)
For a cold potato salad, you can let them cool before peeling. You can even cook them the day before. For a hot potato salad, peel while hot (hold potato with a fork or with a cloth). Slice or cut into cubes - whichever you prefer.
There's even an extra quick and extra easy Potato Salad recipe (see above picture). This one is done in 30 minutes and can be served hot, warm, or cold.
Find out how to make potato salad and then try the different variations - remember to try the hints too. One of these is sure to become your best potato salad recipe ever!
