Kitchen know-how

Tips for Swabian potato salad

Seam potatoes still warm

Warm slices take on the hot broth particularly well. You should be strong enough to cut, but not completely cold when the marinade comes in.

Introduce broth in stages

First add about two thirds of the broth and let the salad absorb. Just pour so much until it shines juicyly, but does not swim in liquid.

Oil comes to an end

Vinegar and broth must first be absorbed into the potatoes. The oil, which is later submerged, lays on it as a fine film and produces the typical shine.

Variations

How to adapt this recipe

Slightly salt a half thinly sliced cucumber, squeeze it and put it in after cooling. So it remains fresh and does not water the marinade.

Leave out 100 grams of bacon cubes crispy and add one tablespoon of bacon fat to the finished salad. Reduce oil and additional salt accordingly.
