Berliner Kartoffelsalat / Berliner Potato Salad

"This is my moms recipe for the mayo based version that you will find all over northern Germany, while southern Germany prefers the vinegar based/hot version. Make sure to let the salad rest for at least 2 hours so that all the flavors can blend and soak into the potatoes."

directions

  • Make sure onion, pickles and apple are chopped the same size.
  • Boil the whole potatoes with their skins on until tender about 20-30 minutes.
  • Remove from pot and let rest until cool enough to handle but still warm, then peel and dice into preferred size.
  • In a bowl combine all the ingredients except potatoes.
  • Put potatoes into a big bowl, pour"sauce" over them and stir together carefully (potatoes break apart easily while still warm).
  • Cover bowl and let rest in fridge for at least 2 hours (overnight is even better).
  • Taste test and add more pickle juice, salt, pepper, sugar or mayo if/as needed.

    While this won't replace my regular potato salad I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. It has a nice flavor and the chopped apple was intriguing. I have it bookmarked to try again the next time I prepare German food. Thank you for sharing your family recipe!
