German HOT Potato Salad Kartoffelsalat

German hot potato salad, known as "Kartoffelsalat" in German, is a beloved dish with a rich history. Unlike the cold, mayonnaise-based potato salads typical in many parts of the world, the German version often features a tangy, warm dressing made with vinegar and bacon, giving it a distinctive and hearty flavour.
Germany's potato salad traditions vary significantly by region. In southern Germany, particularly in Bavaria and Swabia, the hot potato salad with a vinegar-based dressing is more common. Northern Germany favours a creamy, mayonnaise-based potato salad, usually served cold.
Potatoes were introduced to Europe in the 16th century, and by the 18th century, they had become a staple in German cuisine. The hot potato salad likely developed to create a hearty, warming dish suitable for colder climates and seasons.
In its various forms, potato salad is a common accompaniment to many traditional German meals. It's often served with sausages, schnitzel, or other meat dishes, making it a staple on everyday and festive occasions.
The combination of crispy bacon and tangy vinegar is a hallmark of German hot potato salad. This mix adds a robust flavor and creates a pleasing contrast in textures.
Finely chopped onions and a touch of mustard are typically added to enhance the salad's depth of flavor.
- *Warm Serving Temperature:* Serving the salad warm helps to meld the flavors together, making each bite rich and savoury.
Over the years, German hot potato salad has crossed borders and been adapted in various ways. In the United States, for example, it became popular among German-American communities and is often featured at barbecues and potlucks. While traditional recipes are cherished, many modern versions experiment with additional ingredients like fresh herbs, vinegar, and various spices to suit contemporary tastes.
Despite these variations, the essence of German hot potato salad remains the same: a comforting, flavourful dish that brings together simple ingredients in a way that highlights the ingenuity and tradition of German cooking.

My mother makes hers a bit different but one can say it's the same end result.

I grew up with this dish. It is one of my very favorites. The father was first gen polish and German immigrants. Fathers parents had 12 children, half each of boys and girls and they all made this dish for their families. Holidays were filled with awesome European old world foods, passed down thru generations. Another of my favorites is pork steak baked in sauerkraut with potato dumplings the size of golf balls. I haven’t been able to find the dumpling recipe exactly but remember these were firm in the middle not all soft like american dumplings. Luckily I have reconstructed them from memory and taste.

Being a German I love warm potato salad. Thanks for making it to introduce it to some of your viewers that may have never had it. You’ve woke me up to making it again. For those who don’t like parsley use chives which I use quite often for color. I get dehydrated ones and they work fine Another great German foods is Bierocks a German cabbage, onion and ground beef roll I make them all the time, my mother made them frequently when I was growing up. They are so good warm out of the oven and brushed with butter. Cheers mate

Well done Rik! My tastebuds were having happy flashbacks while you were eating. The only minuscule difference between your recipe and mine is I add a couple of squirts of Maggi to the sauce and in the summer I use fresh chopped green onion. Now accompany that salad with a piece of Kassler (smoked pork chop) and a Pilsner, you are in Bavarian Heaven. Parsley freshens the breath and it has the added natural health benefit of stabilizing heart rhythms. When your heart flutters in anticipation of eating a delicious meal, a little parsley might be handy. Danke schoen und guten Appetit! 🥔 🥩 🍻

I know some people might find German potato salad a little strange (particularly my fellow Americans who are used to mayo type potato salad) but German potato salad just hits all the right notes....it's not as "heavy" as regular potato salad and the vinegar kinda "cuts" the fattiness of the bacon. But it's still hearty and filling. I will try your recipe!

[@BackyardChef]

Hello, Henrietta. I hope you had a great birthday! First, wrap the cheese in cheese paper or wax paper. These materials allow the cheese to breathe while maintaining the proper moisture level. After wrapping it in cheese or wax paper, you can loosely cover it with plastic wrap to add an extra layer of protection without completely sealing it off. Keep the cheese on the middle shelf, where the temperature is more consistent. Keep the cheese away from the refrigerator door as the temperature fluctuates. I have my cheeses on the middle shelf towards the back of the refrigerator. I will say I only wrap in plastic wrap. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@henriettagoldsmith5056]

​@@BackyardChef Thankyou my friend,, I have always put cheese on the shelf on the door.😘.

Horrendous bacon??!!! The best bacon is fatty bacon cooked until crisp and the fat renders out. As for anyone muttering about arteries-it’s all about lifestyle and quantity. Being born in the 50’s, the concept of low-fat wasn’t even considered. I don’t remember anyone being fat or having issues.

I'm from the SW part of Germany and we don't make it hot! It's served at room temperature and not hot nor ice cold. The bacon is diced and rendered completely out and the onions are sauteed until soft and lovely. Boil whole unpeeled potatoes, when tender peel while still warm. Salt & Pepper to taste. We use Hengstenberg Altmeister Vinegar for a nice bold flavor! Mustard has never been added, I seriously dislike Dijon anyway. I top it off with curly Parsley not flat. I've never made a rue, make a hot vinegar sauce, use Red Potatoes or serve my salad hot. This is how it's been made in my family for generations.

I love parsley and even chop it up to mix in my salads. Potato salad would be nice right now! x

Thank you. Best, Rik

My Mom made her German potato salad with bacon and used the bacon grease. My husband’s Mom made it without bacon. Oil and vinegar, a little sugar, and parsley. I love it both ways, but with bacon the best.. I’ll try your recipe next time. Looks delicious!

You read my mind. I was just thinking today about how I missed that warm potato salad. I'm saving this so many never forget again❤

I make this a couple times a year for cookouts, my family and extended family loves it. I learned to make it from my mom. I am so glad to see this, everyone should know how to make it. Celery seeds is what I add to the gravy.

[@BackyardChef]

That is awesome! Thank you. Best, Rik

The best part is when you eat it 😂. The enjoyment of the food tells me it's good.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@jennyt966]

That looks absolutely delicious. So many yummy flavours in it. I guess you could put grated cheese on top. Do you have it on it's own or is it a side dish? I definitely want to try it soon. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful recipes, Rik.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Yes add anything you like to eat. As a side or on its own. Nice with sausages. Best, Rik

[@jennyt966]

@@BackyardChef yes, with sausages. Brilliant.
