Traditional Recipe ⟶ Traditional German Warm Potato Salad

Is there anything better than freshly made potato salad? With sausages or pork, it's a dream! This recipe is from Bavaria, Germany, and my family makes this potato salad every year for Christmas eve.

Ingredients

• 4 ¼ pounds waxy potatoes
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup hot vegetable broth
• 5 tablespoons white vinegar
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 pinch white sugar, or to taste
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Cooking Directions

1. Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Drain. Cool until easily handled, about 5 minutes. Peel while still warm. Cut into thin slices and put in a large bowl. Add onion.
2. Mix hot broth with vinegar, oil, salt, and sugar. Pour immediately over warm potatoes and onion; the potatoes need to still be warm so they can absorb the dressing better. Allow to stand for 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with chopped chives and serve warm.
