My family was from Bavaria. The way my Mom made it (always served hot) was 5lbs boiled potatoes (skinned after cooking), 1lb bacon, 1 small white onion, 2 cups Vinegar, 2 cups Sugar, Cornstarch. Cook bacon & remove from pan, cook diced onion in bacon grease. Add vinegar and sugar to grease & onion, stir in cornstarch diluted with water to thicken to a glaze. Add sliced potatoes, and crumpled bacon, stir well and eat immediately.

[@cooking-the-world]

Sounds delicious. I hope that you keep the recipe and prepare it once a while to keep the tradition alive.

[@beckysimeone4882]

It is and I do. I took it to my German class picnic in college and our teacher, Frau Mueller, said she had never seen it made that way. When I told her where my relatives had migrated from she said "Ah, Bavaria, that explains it." I wish there was a good German restaurant in St Louis Missouri.

[@ChrisHolman]

That is the exact same recipe my family makes. It is amazing!

[@annsowers4591]

I miss Brotchen. We have people that attempt to make them, but it's not the same. It might be the flour available in the US that messes it up. I use green onions in my German Potato Salad. I make it like your Family does. So good!

Hello ! Good to see you again .. I picked up some real German sweet mustard at Aldi’s yesterday and I love it !. When I was over there I did not get to try your potato salad but we use to have it for our a First Class passengers back when I was a Flight Attendant. However it was made in the In-Flight kitchens so it may not have been the real thing. This is how I grew up with it here in the US. 5lb red potatoes 5 eggs 2 or 3 stocks of celery 2 slices of onion About 2/3 Qt. of mayo Splash of vinegar Salt & pepper Fresh Parsley Paprika Cut small the celery, onion and eggs. Cube the potatoes. To make it easer to mix, layer all these ingredients in a large bowl. In separate bowl add mayo and Vinegar to taste along with salt. Add mixture to potatoes along with fresh parsley and mix. Top with paprika Have a great weekend ! Cheers !

[@IslenoGutierrez]

American potato salad is a descendant of northern german potato salad.

[@terrapax8554]

We didnt have the stalk celery up until maybe 20 years ago in Germany, traditionally we have Celeriac here, used in soups... I hate both 😅. The recipes in the video are traditional. But even in Germany, everybody is free to make up their own family recipe and pass it down and the proof is in taking it to a barbeque or birthday and see which salad gets eaten the most, as it is with every dish everywhere in the world. So you do you and enjoy ❤

We do the creamy version, most often. We use chopped hard boiled egg, pickles or relish, celery, green onion or chives, and dill weed. Top with paprika. If it's more vinegarette style...I like rice vinegar, evoo, celery, onion or chives. That's served hot or cold. Both salads have garlic and onion powder, sea salt and black pepper added into the dressing part.

Thank you for sharing, highly appreciated.👍 The northern style is made in my family usually, sometimes I added almond, cashew nuts, pecan nuts and raisins; but when it’s summer, without mayo, put olive oil and vinegar. Sometimes I clean potato with brush, keep peel & cut it into small blocks.

I like the Northern style. That's the kind my wife makes. Although it can be eaten straight away, I find it's better if it sits in the frig at least overnight.

[@terrapax8554]

It is best to leave out the eggs until consumption, pro tip from a german chef... Because they tend to get slimy over time and the best potato salad is one that is 1-2 days old.

[@terrapax8554]

Traditionally German herbs to go with potato in ANY style of preparation is Marjoram and or Parsley, in some regions Caraway

Hi 👋 CtW , frome Los Angeles . Thank You for Your Video . I make My Potato Salad with Regular plain Best Foods Mayonnaise , Dijon ( It has to be Grey Poupon ) , lil fresh minced Red Onion , lil Paprika ( to garnish Top ) , lil Cayenne , lil Tabasco Hot Sauce , Salt and Pepper , Hard Boiled Eggs , maybe some Fresh Parsley and or Sour Creme if I have . Better the next Day . Always get compliments on . Definitely the Dijon I prefer , over the regular Yellow Mustard , even though I like that style of Potato Salad too🤍

[@vicdavao]

Video gives a good overview over the different types. In Bavaria they sometimes also use caraway (which is terrible for me). I prefer the Northern style. I prepare the mayonnaise by myself and add some milk to make it a little bit more liquid so that the sauce can be soaked by the potatoes. I also don't slice the potatoes - I dice them; it creates a larger surface for the soaking. For the soaking process you should put the salad into the fridge for some hours. Guten Appetit!

[@cooking-the-world]

Thanks Vic! I see your point with the dicing :) dressing really need some soaking time!

[@terrapax8554]

Instead of milk in Germany we use some pickle juice to make the mayo more liquidy... And the Swabonian Potato Salad normally has Stock,chicken or vegg...

[@zapusama67]

Very interesting! My Father's German side of the family (Neubauer) has made a German potato salad very similar to the Bavarian style. As you stated, many family recipes have their own ways of preparation. My mother got the recipe from my Great Gramma and I still make it to this day!! Simple but delicious. My Great Gram used vinegar and dry mustard (in the place of pickles and prepared mustard, I'm guessing) along with the bacon. Always served warm with parsley and a touch of sugar in the recipe. SO good!! Thanks for sharing these recipes!.

[@lesliedunne9916]

A German friend of mine years ago taught me how to make the northern kind, but I didn't know it was specific to the north. For years people have been trying to tell me it's not German because it has mayo in it. I'm happy to see videos about this now and now I can explain that it is the northern variety.

[@cooking-the-world]

Exactly! I am glad I could help. We also like having the Northern one with our Frankfurter here in Frankfurt 🙂

[@AlphaCentauriB]

Germans just love their potatos. I accept all kinds of potatos salad, but for hot Summer days or like keeping leftovers for some days I would prefer a vinegar based one 🙈 My Bavarian Version includes in Summer cucumber and a lot of parslay. It is fresh and relativly light for potatos salad. Dressing with vinegar, onion and sweet mustard thinned woth vegetable broth.

My ex husband once made a German potato salad which I haven't seen since. It was made from large chunks of red potatoes with the skin on, plus 1" long pieces of blanched green beans, plus white, yellow, or sweet onion slivers, plus chopped up bacon pieces, and all dressed with a vinaigrette made from quality balsamic. It was really flavorful, and as is true with most potato salads, even better the next day!

[@cooking-the-world]

Oh, shame you didn't get the recipe. In Germany we eat usually eat cold potato salads, I will be honest - I have never had a warm one before. I guess here in Frankfurt and in places where I travelled is not common to eat it. For the noodles, you mean Swabian Spätzle? Those are easy to make, if you have right tools. Here in Germany we use Spätzlepresse (like your grandmother), Spätzleschaber (it's like a wooden board with scraper) or Spätzlehobel. Spätzlepresse makes long noodles, Spätzlehobel short noodles and Spätzleschaber is only for those who knows how to use it properly (I find the other two much easier in use). So I would recommend to get or lend either Spätzlepresse or Spätzlehobel and give it a go! The dough is sticky but it doesn't take that long to make and it's delicious! You can also freeze Spätzle for up to 3 months.

Any suggestions on using Maggi in those?

[@cooking-the-world]

I wouldn’t. But you can experiment with that:) and don’t forget to let me know how it tasted!

[@BrandonTWills]

Cooking the World - Couldn’t find any Maggi locally, but it turned out delicious without it. Thanks for showing me how it’s done.

@@BrandonTWills Walmart has Maggi, I bought it there - look around in the spanish food isle or order it online

Thanks for sharing :) Does the olive oil work for you in German potato salad?

My wife is in CUXHAVEN this Christmas, and I’m stuck in NY.. We are having the same Christmas eve, and Christmas dinner..They are making it , and I’m copying it so it can feel like we are together.. Frankfurters and potato salad on the 24th, Duck , boiled potatoes, red cabbage of the 25th., and the Stollen.. I found Stollen and it cost me $40 usd..🤯

The dressing for the potato salad the my family makes has sour cream as the main ingredient as well as some mayo, pickles, cucumbers, radishes, onions, crunchy bacon, mustard, and boiled eggs. The fried bacon is the last thing added along with the bacon grease. I’ve also had Swabian potato salad with just vinegar, oil, onions and dill. It was very tasty.

[@cooking-the-world]

Bacon with bacon grease sound like a dream. Thanks for sharing :)

???? I am Swabian and I never seen a potato salad without vinegar. The dressing is broth, vinegar and oil.

[@cooking-the-world]

I mention vinegar in the lower third, in the overview of potato salads that come from South Germany and in the written recipe, I am sorry it’s not clear enough and you have missed it.
