German potato salad - Gaylemarie

13 years ago

Just want to tell Gaylemarie I made her recipe for German potato salad the other night it was wonderful! We had it with Nettle's smoked sauage and really enjoyed it.

I had no idea it was that easy to make--much easier than regular potato salad. Who'da thunk it?

Apfelstrudel is a bit of work to make, and it is somewhat difficult to roll up, if you are making it for the first time. I buy mine at an Austrian strudel house in Culver City, but I've also made it. My German grandmother made German Chocolate Cake, which was a chocolate layer cake with a sort of caramel like icing and filling with pecans and coconut. I linked to a recipe below that looks similar to what she made. This cake travels well, and she frequently brought it to family gatherings in the park. It's good for a picnic. The only salad of hers I remember was potato salad, and I don't have her recipe for that either :(, but I'm sure you can find one, if that is what you want to take. We were never that big on cabbage, except for sauerkraut. Lars Here is a link that might be useful: German chocolate cake recipe.

Or just leave them in their foil until they turn the color of my toe and throw them out. :) The toe is healing nicely, thank-you, and car #1 has finally gone to the dealership. Car #2 is still being fixed. I did get to do a couple of errands after the tow, and now my other ankle is complaining about taking up the balance duties of the opposite pinky. I should cook, but I think I'm playing hooky tomorrow. ;) I was out eating a romaine-free salad tonight, but did filch some fries from my companion, who never finishes them anyway. They were way too salty, but really good. Better than usual. The too salty was probably the improvement. ;) 2Many, no apologies! That's hysterical. Well the potatoe is hysterical. The quip is smile-worthy. All good. I've often seen a hand of ginger, but that's the first foot of potato I've seen! Sherry, that rock sounds as immovable as the bathtub! "Restaurant size" potatoes is what they're called. though, as you say, many restaurants serve larger ones. Two pounds though? Wow. I can't imagine wanting to bring home an uneaten half of a potato the way I would half a chicken serving or half a sandwich. And here I thought one pound potatoes were huge!

I wonder if my husband would like this.....I'm going to copy/paste this one and save it.

I loved German Potato Salad as a kid. My mom would make it for me. I've never made it in my life.
