I love your recipes, sorry, but way too much sugar, saturated fat from bacon, just my opinion. But enjoy.

[@a2ndopynyn]

Thanks for the recipe! It's been many years since I had a good authentic German potato salad. (I'm gonna use about 50% more bacon, though; nothing crazy, just a bump up.) How about a good Greek potato salad, the sort with red potatoes, lemon, green onions and dill? So good...

[@seanleafgreen135]

7:15 - I was just about to post that skin on is optional right ? I've had several dishes of this kind of potato salad with skin on. From what I've been told potato skins are 'healthy' but who are we kidding ; its carbs and fat . I'll gobble this stuff up any day of the week . :) Don't judge me !

[@Klaus-Jürgen]

Hello from Germany! You are my favorit chanel 🤩 We have many different Potatosalads in Germany, it depends of the region. In the north more classic with, Apple, Cucumber, Majonaise - it´s sweat and sour and crunchy. In the south „ schwaebisch“ or „bavarian“. No majo, but with mustard, oil or melted butter, and Bouillon, not water! One name - Potato Salad - thousend delikat recepies. 😋

[@Ollie-h1n]

Question: I read there are lots of Muslims now in Germany. Especially Turkish. Germans love pork. How do the Muslims deal with that in restaurants?

[@d2dMiles]

@@Ollie-h1n Many simply go to one of the many turkish, arabic etc restaurants. Apart from that, there are options with beef, paultry, or vegetarian dishes in most restaurants.

Jim, I love the respect you give James through your interactions with him. When you welcome him and thank him for participating, it shows how much you value his time and opinions. James, you are a well-spoken young man with a sensitive palate. Your opinions and ratings reflect your appreciation for good food and the person preparing the food. You guys make a great team!

[@SipandFeast]

Thank you so much.

[@bifcake]

Hi James, I grew up in Brooklyn and I have moved to Thailand about 15 years ago. I stumbled across your channel when I saw you were making a NY Deli Macaroni salad. I haven't seen anyone else doing it on KZbin, so I had to watch it. Then, when I heard you speak, I thought to myself: This is a genuine NY dude, not some poser from a 5 star Michelin restaurant making a NY deli salad. Watching your videos makes me feel at home. Thank you BTW, the kid is a natural food critic. He doesn't pull any punches even though his dad is right there and his dad made the dish. He's articulate and he tells you EXACTLY what he likes and doesn't like in a particular dish. It's so refreshing to see such honesty. It makes me almost miss New York. :D

[@SipandFeast]

thanks so much!

[@atlenebartolino8923]

James you are a 10 out of 10. Your son grows every time he does a taste test. You must be so proud of him as he is of you. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

[@RolloTonéBrownTown]

Im proud of him knowing all these food and flavour words at a young age. I had to teach them to myself once I got into cooking and wine in my 20s and it was difficult at times. I hope James Jr appreciates how lucky he was to learn them right off the bat when he is a young adult

[@cinemaocd1752]

My friends German Grandma would lay the sliced potatoes out on a plate and season each piece of potato with salt, sugar and vinegar to get the ratio just right. Best potato salad I've ever eaten. It was super simple, but the care she took in the seasoning made it great. This seems a lot easier. I'm going to give this a try! Probably skip the carrot though. That just seems weird to me. (I'm from the midwest and I've never seen carrot or mayo in a german potato salad).

[@Diana-qp2rw]

Neither have I, and I’m from Germany and have seen potato salad prepared in countless different ways. Carrot salad is popular in the South, at least I see it a lot here, but I’ve never seen carrots in potato salad.

[@-Shazz-]

Agreed, no carrots in german potato salat. Never!

[@almaburns6562]

​@@Diana-qp2rw How about mayo, did you ever see that in a German potato salad?

[@warwicks2780]

In my experience every family in Germany has a different recipe for this. And they’re all the best version of course!

[@jeanniebrooks]

I always thought that German potato salad by definition was oil & vinegar, no mayo. (And no eggs.) If it had mayo, it’s not German, it’s American. That makes it good for outdoor events like picnic parties, etc. But anybody can invent their own potato salad and give it a name of their choosing. I add mustard seeds(and other ingredients) and call it “my potato salad.” 😊 And I have more than one type of potato salad.

[@samruda23]

These deli vids are a life saver. I'm in Oregon and while we have good food here, it's not NY/NJ good. Big thanks.

[@Docdug]

My grandma, from Heidelberg, made the best potato salad. Very similar to yours, just no carrots, and her garnish was hard boiled egg wedges. The ingredients; potatoes, bacon, oil, vinegar, onion, salt & pepper. That’s it. Stick it in the fridge for a couple hours. Yummmm!

[@f.e.mccole8094]

Sounds like mine. but we eat it hot. No carrot and no egg. Good with ham or sausage.

[@chrishieke1261]

My grandma would certainly not approve of James' recipe. There is absolutely no place for shredded carrots or sugar (5 tablespoons!) in a potato salad in Germany. And cooked/fried onions ... never, they have to be raw (they mellow by a reaction with the vinegar). Bacon is fine, but the pieces are to large. Given the time of the year, fresh cucumber from the garden or finely cut pickled cucumber can be added. But putting potato salad on a sandwich ... at this point, my grandmother would be shaking her head in disbelief. This does neither justice to the sandwich nor the potato salad. P.S.: The potato salad might be fine and delicious, but calling it "German potato salad" is misleading for everyone outside this culinary challenged country that gave the world McDonalds. ;)

[@rodger7029]

@@chrishieke1261😂😂😂 there is no one single German potato salad recipe in Germany, much less the US

[@chrishieke1261]

@@rodger7029 There is only one. The one that ones grandma used. Everything else is a misguided abomination. ;) We might have different opinions on the mayo vs. vinegar/oil scale or if one adds bacon ... but sugar and carrots is out of the question. Pretty sure we have a law to safeguard the integrety of potato salad on the statute somewhere. :D

[@rodger7029]

@@chrishieke1261 lol, you don’t have a law. Potato salad is different in many areas in Germany as are most if not all recipes as it is in other parts of the world. Both of my grandmothers made potato salad and they were definitely different

[@Flavum]

Agreed. Maybe a breakfast item - a truly amazing bacon, egg and cheese on a roll would be a lot of fun.

[@jeanettegant2894]

This is my grandmother's (Oma) recipe. In WWI then WWII there was no mayo, but she owned a farm, so there was bacon and fat from the pigs. Instead of carrot, she added chopped pickled cucumbers. Takes me back down memory lane, thank you.

[@normandea]

The kid has a good grasp of descriptive terminology of food and a good stage presence. Would be fun to watch him cook with you on a dish at some point. Or maybe even solo have have you do the tasting and review.

[@simonefeaster5131]

My mother is from Hesse in Central Germany. Her family makes a similar version (without carrots). The potatoes were served warm and a room temperature vinaigrette was poured over..amazing! Your version seems very close to my family’s. Can’t wait to make it myself!

[@anniestumpy9918]

I'm German and I have never seen a potato salad (many different recipes, depending on the region) that uses carrots let alone sugar - this recipe has 5 tablespoons of sugar 😂 I'm sure Americans like it but it is definitely a "(what Americans think is) German" version.

[@Midwesterner]

My Mother was Northern German (Rest in Peace Mom!) She always added parsley and chives, she used dried. A heaping tablespoon of spicy mustard, enough oil to coat the taters but she would omit a lot of the bacon grease. No carrot. No mayo. A very small amount of sugar and not as much vinegar. She made the dressing in a blender so that the mustard, sugar vinegar, salt, water, and slowly add oil so everything would emulsify. The dried herbs added to the hot taters, then all tossed together with the crumbled bacon, and red onion diced and raw. Yum. She left the red tater skins on too for more nutrition.

I am the German Potato Salad Queen in my family. I have my great grandmother's recipe straight from Germany. Your recipe and preparation are quite different... my sauce uses corn starch to thicken so its more like a sweet/tart gravy. But I have found the best way to slice the potatoes is with an egg slicer with the wires perfect uniform slices 😊

[@sourcedecay]

This is the only kind of potato salad I make at home because it's so good and I grew up with it. I often add some kind of green herb (parsley or dill, and scallion green) and some bleu cheese crumbles. Magical.

[@arborealscout4252]

Hi, thanks, I very much enjoy your videos! Since you acknowledge this one was not finalized yet, here's some info from my great-grandmother's recipe. Her recipe makes 4 portions, so adjust as needs for # of servings you need: -remove oil other than the bacon grease -remove carrot -remove pepper -remove garnishes -add flour For potatoes amount, she also used new red potatoes, "enough for 4 people" is the recipe, so you have to judge based on the size of potatoes and how much you want to make. Her recipe also removes skins when potatoes are done boiling and still hot, but cut thicker than yours - just a regular medium slice like 1/4 to 1/3 in thick - they do slough, break, and stick together as you go. Bacon: Hers has 1/2 pound bacon (for 4 portions, which seems like more than yours considering the amount of potatoes you have which I'm eyeballing but I'm guessing yours is 6-8 portions?). Hers is also cut into lardons as you did and cooked until crispy. Remove cooked bacon and set aside. Pour off all but 1/4 cup of fat (reserve that pouroff just in case you need more). Stir into the 1/4 c bacon grease: 2 Tablespoons flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Add 2 Tablespoons vinegar, and 1 cup water. Stir and cook until thickened. Cut 2 slices of onion over sliced potatoes. Put crumbled bacon and sauce on warm potatoes. Let stand in warm place about 30 minutes. Serve with wieners! The amount of dressing vs. potato by the end is wet, but not so much dressing that it is swimming in it.

[@theMAXX81]

Loved to watch this, just like all your other videos. for a twist, if you wanna try, skip the fried bacon, onion, carrots. Boil the potatoes, ideally waxy texture variety, and peel afterwarts, put aside. Make a dressing from chives and apple vinegar, some sugar, salt, pepper. cut the potatoes into half-pinky finger thick slices. pour over the still slightly warm potatoes and then add some broth (beef, bone), boiled, cooled and still warm as well. then add sweet onion, cut in tiny dices. let it sit for a while, see if you need more broth, but careful with the amount, should stay dry-ish but soft. serve still warm and next to endive salad (mustard-raspberry vinegar dressing, some lemon), the endive cut in slim stripes. some prefer to mix, i love havin it side by side. goes awesome with breaded cutlets (obviously) and a sparkling water (we love this stuff over here) or sprite / 7up or weissbier if you want. recipe is (from memory) what my grandma made for me when i was a kid and her lovely presence stil upgraded this whole planet.

Frozen bacon is trivial to cut, a few slices at a time so it's faster as well. You could boil the bacon in a little water that just covers the bacon, on a medium simmer that has the water evaporate in maybe 5-7 minutes, followed by the browning in the rendered fat.

My man. I have said to my husband SO many times over the years, WHY don't ppl put potato salad on sandwiches? It just seems like a good idea. There's the fries on sandwiches thing, which I don't like b/c they are too dry. The dressing on the salad takes care of that, plus whatever else you have in the salad is a flavor bonus.

[@KurtisRader]

Long ago when I was young (around 1977) I worked in a buffet style restaurant. Two of the cooks were women whose parents immigrated from Germany. They cooked German style potato salad that was fantastic. Before then I had only had American style potato salad (which is still my "go to" style). A few years later in my twenties I found a restaurant near where I worked that served French style potato salad which was a nice change of pace. It's pretty hard to screw up potato salad. 🙂

[@ronsandahl274]

I know that there is a difference between deli German potato salad and classic "from Germany" potato salad (Swabian) but the big difference is true German potato salad used beef stock. The classic is just potatoes, yellow onion, beef stock, vinegar, salt & pepper, sugar and mild mustard (plus chives for garnish). That's it. It is almost intoxicatingly good. I have a friend whose mother is German and she would make this for me all the time. A couple of notes on this: the kind of potatoes that they use in Germany aren't available here, so she would use Yukon Gold (she said these were the closest). Basically you boil the potatoes whole and unpeeled (this is so that the potatoes absorb the least amount of water) just as you did. When cool enough peel and slice. Then in a saucepan you add the onions, beef broth, vinegar, mustard and everything else, then quickly bring it to a boil and then pour it all over the potatoes WHILE STILL HOT (that is very important ass it aids absorption). Cover and leave this sit for AT LEAST an hour, then add a drizzle of neutral oil. The potatoes absorb the mixture but also release starch so you end up with this super creamy, almost saucy potato salad.

[@janellek21]

German potato salad is my favourite potato salad. I'm not a mayo lover and I don't like potato salads that overdo the mayo. I love the tart, acidic flavour and the smokiness of the bacon. Whole Foods used to make a blue cheese potato salad that I also liked. Wow! James sure loved the Delmaginator sandwich you made him! He was moaning a bit whilst he was eating it! I checked out Se-Port's website and the sandwiches do look great, although $16.25 for a Terminator seems a bit steep. I'd probably go for the Jacob DeGrom or the Scorpion.
