German Potato Salad | A perfect Easter side dish

German potato salad isn’t the traditional creamy potato salad that most think about. But this herb-heavy potato dish is mixed with cooked onion and celery and topped with an apple cider vinegar dressing. It’s the marriage of both sweet and sour and is light enough for a new season but hearty enough to be super filling. It’s a great recipe to try for something new!

INGREDIENTS

For the potatoes:

– 3 lb yellow potatoes (new or larger baking potatoes)
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 1 tsp kosher salt
– 1/2 tsp black pepper

For the vinaigrette:

– 1/2 lb bacon
– 3 tbsp bacon grease
– 1 medium onion, diced
– 1 cup diced celery
– 1/2 tsp black pepper
– 2/3 cup apple cider vinegar
– 1/4 cup honey
– 1/2 cup chopped parsley
– 2 tbsp chopped dill
– 2 tbsp chopped tarragon

INSTRUCTIONS

For the potatoes:

– Preheat oven to 425°F.

– Scrub and wash potatoes and allow to air dry. Cut the potatoes into bite-size pieces, approximately 1/2-inch in size, and place them on two large baking sheets. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

– Roast in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the potato pieces meets no resistance and the outside is browned and crisp, 18-25 minutes. Once the potatoes are roasted, remove them from the oven and set them aside. While roasting, prepare the vinaigrette.

For the vinaigrette:

– Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon until crisp and browned, 5-8 minutes. Remove the bacon and set it on a towel-lined dish. Pour off the bacon grease and wipe any debris out of the skillet. Add back bacon grease to the skillet and return the skillet to medium heat.

– Add the onion and celery to the hot grease. Sauté until the onion is golden and the celery has softened slightly, 4-6 minutes.

– Add the black pepper, apple cider vinegar, and honey. Simmer and let reduce slightly, 3-5 minutes.

– Add the roasted potatoes to a large bowl. Pour the vinaigrette over the roasted potatoes while the vinaigrette and potatoes are warm to allow the flavor to soak into the potatoes. Add the prepared bacon, chopped parsley, dill, and tarragon. Stir and taste, seasoning for salt and pepper.

  1. Years ago my mother taught me her recipe for German potato salad and it was delicious! Brings back so many memories ????

  2. so true with the weather. We had 2 times this last week when there was a day warm enough to open windows, then woke up to snow. That's Nebraska for ya.

  3. I have seen different variations of German potato salad, but yours looks really really good and is first time i seen honey in it. Am going to try this one.

  4. Just made it for late breakfast! And it was fantastic!!!! Definitely is a keeper! ????

  5. First ate this at The Painted Horse, which was a German restaurant in Orlando. This was in the late 50s and early 60s. So good.

  6. I am going to try your version for Easter! I have been making my mom’s and grandma’s version for years. Time to change things up

  7. Warm Greetings to you all from Northern Germany,
    I'm sorry to say that what you're showing your viewers, has definitely nothing to do with German " kartoffelsalat".

  8. Will for sure be making this to go with our ham for Easter. Thank you ????

  9. Can I ask a question about pronunciation, why do Americans drop the H off herb's and say "erbs"

  10. I totally agree with your take on monitoring salt intake and sources of excess dietary sodium.

  11. I don’t eat pork. Why do people serve pork on Easter? Jesus never ate pork.

  12. OMG! OMG! OMG! …Just put my phone on and saw your recipe.for German Potato Salad… I am so happy to have this…. MY FAVORITE! …I used to watch my late Aunt make it years ago, without a recipe, but now I am delighted to have YOUR RECIPE! …Awesome… Had no idea YOU knew how to make this! …THANK YOU so much Kaleb… A real keeper! …I grew up in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin where we had German Potato Salad, but have lived in California for decades where they don't know what it is? …Can't wait to make this… Now, back to watch your whole video! (Without mayo, this potato salad can be safely outside in warm summer backyard picnics) ????

  13. Saw all the tornadoes in Iowa yesterday. Hope you, family and friends are safe.

  14. This is more of a "bavarian" potato salad. The majority of Germans make a potato salad that is similar to the typical american potato salad.

    I once made this mistake, proudly showing off my "international culinary" skills – they quickly corrected me. ????
