Swabian Potato Salad Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Boil the unpeeled potatoes in salty water in a pot. The size of the potatoes decides the cooking point. Its mostly about 15-20 minutes, just check it with a knife (put the knive in the potatoe, if it get off easily, they are ready).
• 2. Peel the warm (!) potatoes and cut it into pieces in a bowl. Not to thin and not to thick - 0,08 - 0,12 in I'd say and not more then 0,2 inch. Peel and chop the onions. If you don't want raw onions in your salad you can boil them a little in the Meatsoup before.
• 3. Put the onions, salt, pepper, freshly gratet nutmeg, warm (!) Meatsoup and about 2-3 tablespoons vinegar and 2 tablespoons oil over the potatoes and stir it. Now check if something is missing like vineager or salt.
• 4. let the salat go for about one hour while you can stir it from time to time. The salat have to "smack" when you stir it and the slices have to "shine". You can also serve it quite after you've done it, but in my oppinion the salat gets more taste if you give him time.

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes with the skin on, drain and let the cool down a bit and then peel them while still warm. Now let them cool down completely. In the mean time fry the bacon to a crunchy consistency and cut into bits. When the potatoes are cold, we'll cut them in half lengthwise and then into 1/4 inch thick slices and place into a bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper and set asFor the broth we'll need to do the following. Heat the broth in a small sauce pan and bring to a light simmer not a full blown boil. Add the chopped shallot, red onion, garlic, mustard, vinegar and sugar to the simmering broth. Turn heat down to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. While the broth's simmering, finely chop the cornichons or gherkins and add them to the potatoes. Now we'll add the hot broth and bacon bits to the potatoes and carefully fold everything under with a spatula. Let everything rest for at least an hour so that the flavors can disperse within the salad. Once the hour has passed, we'll add the fresh herbs to it and maybe add a splash of olive oil to the salad and carefully combine. Season again with some sea salt and freshly ground pepper, cover the boil with some plastic wrap and rest until use.The salad can be refrigerated for up to 4 days before the potatoes turn to mush, and we don't want that. But I doubt it'll survive even two days because it's so damn tasty. Serve with a medium-boiled egg (soft but not runny center), some pickles and tomatoes. Or whatever your heart desires.

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain; allow potatoes to cool slightly. Peel and slice potatoes. Mix potatoes and onions in a bowl; stir in mustard, salt, and black pepper.
• Bring vegetable stock to a boil in a small saucepan, pour over potato mixture and stir to combine. Stir in vinegar and let rest for 10 minutes. Stir in vegetable oil and season with salt and black pepper if desired.
