Warm German Potato Salad Recipe – warmer Kartoffelsalat
Jenny Böhme
With tender potatoes and a tangy broth-based dressing this classic dish comes together quickly and works for everything from family dinners to festive holiday meals or summer cookouts. My warm German potato salad recipe is as easy to make as it is delicious.
Boil the potatoes with their skins on for about 20 minutes, until tender but still firm.
While the potatoes cook, peel and dice the onion. Heat the oil in a pan, sauté the onion until translucent, then add the diced ham and cook for 1–2 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and peel them while still hot. Slice them into rounds and place them in a large bowl.
Warm the broth and mix it with the vinegar and sugar. Pour the warm mixture over the sliced potatoes. Add the sautéed onion and ham, then gently toss to combine.
Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with freshly chopped chives or parsley and serve warm.
Notes
You can easily prepare the warm German potato salad ahead of time and reheat it in the oven or microwave before serving. Store leftovers in the fridge for 2–3days.
