How to make an Authentic German Potato Salad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For a dish with such big flavors, it\u2019s a remarkably easy one to make. There are really 3 major steps in the process of making a classic German Potato Salad, which all follow some simple cooking techniques

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Boiling the Potatoes<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Cooking the Bacon<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Making the Dressing<\/a>

    <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Nail these three steps and you\u2019re eating a delicious German Potato Salad in no time at all

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Boiling the Potatoes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    There\u2019s not much to this step and for most of you I would assume this is something you\u2019ve done many times before. The best result for boiling Potatoes is to place them into cold water, not boiling water. The reason for this is you get a gentler cook on the Potatoes, which means they will hold their shape better

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Holding the Potatoes shape is an important factor in making a Potato Salad. You don\u2019t want them to be breaking up and crumbling during the process. Boiling them from a cold start is a great technique to assist with achieving this goal (as is the types of Potatoes to use, which we cover a little later)

    To save time, we recommend cooking the Bacon and Vegetables while your Potatoes are cooking in a separate pot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
