German potato salad

16 years ago

I just wanted to let you know I made it and it was delicious. I had no idea it was so easy. I'll be making it again soon. So thanks a lot!

I was over on the Cooking forum and posted this over there. I don't know where my mind is, but it definitely left the building!

Hi Doug I am glad that you and Pam are okay, and yes Pam is right it is very easy and economical to add flowers to the garden, most of mine are from seeds and some reseed themselves. Gets the garden in a happy mood. I am waiting to see how the vine on the trellis turn out flowers wise, it is very vigorous and will give shade to the peppers once the cucumbers are gone. And I think Dianne is right and you are referring to the kale. It is a wonderful veggie because I have been cutting for months giving away and using for soups, saute and even chips. And also takes the heat better than other greens. I have about 5 different types and I like them all. The tall one is a curled blue, sometimes you find them as transplants in the big box stores. Here it is one side with other variety of kale, I have Squire, Dwarf Blue Curled, a plain red and a Red Chidori which is very ornamental and good tasting like all the others. The other side with Green Glaze collards When is cold they look prettier, the colors are more vivid. Silvia

I always think of German Potato Salad as being served warm dressed using vinegar or vinegar/oil instead of mayo or mayo/mustard. The potatoes are sliced instead of cubed, and hard-cooked eggs would be optional. There are a lot of German Heritage recipes show-up at potlucks and Church Suppers around here, and German Potato Salad is a favorite. As usual, the recipes are as individual as the folks who make them :-). This is close to the recipe my German-Canadian mother used. I doubt she ever had, or used, fresh parsley. When my mother made "yellow potato salad", she made Mustard Sauce (a cooked dressing). -Grainlady Kartoffelsalat (Potato Salad) 5# potatoes 1/4 c. finely diced bacon 1/4 c. chopped onions 1 T. flour 2 t. salt 1-1/4 T. sugar 1/4 t. pepper 2/3 c. cider vinegar 1/3 c. water 1/2 t. celery seed 3 T. chopped parsley Cook the potatoes in their jackets until tender. Cool, peel and slice thinly. Fry out the bacon until crisp. Add the chopped onion and cook 1 minute. Blend in the flour, which has been sifted with sugar, salt and pepper. Stir in the vinegar and water. Cook 10-minutes, stirring well. Pour this over the sliced potatoes and add the celery seed and chopped parsley. Toss and serve warm.

I knew Marlen from another site. I used to have several years worth of her yearly Fourth of July stories. She was a special person whose death came way too soon for lots of us. Her writing was both funny and nostalgic...she sure could make you proud to be an American.

2 pounds small russet potatoes ¼ cup dry white wine 1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon white pepper ¼ cup olive oil 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley Ingredient Substitution Guide Nutritional Information Preparation Scrub the potatoes and drop them into a saucepan of enough boiling salted water to cover. Boil about 30 minutes, just until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a small knife. Drain. As soon as the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel and cut them into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Place the potatoes in a large shallow serving dish. Pour the wine over the warm slices and toss very gently. Set aside until the potatoes have absorbed the wine. Meanwhile, use a small whisk to beat the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper in a small bowl until the salt has dissolved. Add the oil by droplets and whisk until thickened. Whisk in the green onions. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and toss gently. Recheck seasoning and adjust if necessary. Sprinkle with the parsley.

There are a lot of Germans in my city, and also a strong Mennonite community. Warm potato salad used to be served regularly, but not so much anymore. Yummm.
