Swabian Potato Salad | |
- Ingredients | |
+ 3kg waxy potatoes | |
+ 3 bay leaves | |
+ 3-4 medium onions (~200-300g), finely chopped | |
+ 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped | |
+ 180mL white vinegar | |
* Note: I have also used other types of vinegar, but I | |
think I like it the most with white vinegar. | |
+ 750mL vegetable broth | |
* Note: I use store-bought powder for making the vegetable | |
broth, and I always use about twice as much powder as | |
the package says because I like it a bit stronger, | |
especially since the potatoes soak up a lot. | |
+ 6 Tbsp mustard | |
+ 12 Tbsp vegetable oil (180mL) | |
* Note: Some types of oil have a very strong taste that | |
may not be ideal for potato salad. | |
+ Chives to taste (I usually add a few teaspoons) | |
- Instructions | |
+ Either peel and boil or boil and peel the potatoes (I always | |
peel them before because some potatoes are really annoying | |
to peel after cooking). | |
* Note: Don't boil them too long since they're supposed | |
to stay relatively firm for the salad. | |
+ Cut potatoes into thin slices (you can also grate them, but | |
mine usually aren't firm enough to do that without them | |
turning into mashed potatoes). | |

+ Boil onions, garlic, vinegar, vegetable broth, mustard, and | |
bay leaves for a few minutes. | |

+ Remove bay leaves and pour sauce over the potatoes. | |

+ Cover the mixture and leave it for several hours, mixing it | |
occasionally, until the liquid has been soaked up by the potatoes. | |
+ Add oil and chives and mix well. | |
+ Notes | |
* Some potatoes soak up more or less liquid, so you may need | |
to adjust the amount of vegetable broth and vinegar. | |
* You may want to add even more vegetable broth powder or | |
just regular salt if you want it to be a bit stronger. | |
