Do you serve it warm or cold?
This German potato salad recipe can be served warm or cold, and it will keep well for 3 to 4 days covered in the fridge. Be sure to toss the potatoes in the dressing while they are still warm so that the absorb all of those flavors.
What are the best potatoes to use?
Red potatoes are perfect for this dish, there’s no need to peel them so their skins add some color too. I find waxier potatoes re best rather than starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Gold than tend to fall apart when tossed.
What do you serve it with?
This potato salad is great to serve with all kinds of meals, great for picnics and potlucks, but it wouldn’t be out of place on a holiday table either. Try it with:
Schnitzel Maple Glazed Salmon Garlic Steak Bites Breaded Pork Chops Grilled Bruschetta Chicken Stuffed Pork Loin
