Description
Herzhafter Kartoffelsalat mit zarten Kartoffelscheiben, knackigen Zwiebeln, würziger Fleischwurst, pikanter Salami, sauren Gurken und cremigem Dressing – bunt, sämig und voller kräftiger Aromen wie bei Oma Otti.
Ingredients
- 2.5 kg potatoes (preferably waxy)
- 3 medium onions
- 500 g Fleischwurst (ring bologna, can also use poultry bologna)
- 200 g salami
- 5 medium sour pickles
- 5 hard-boiled eggs (sliced)
- 150 g sour cream (one tub)
- 100 g Miracle Whip (or any salad mayonnaise)
- 2 tablespoons medium hot mustard
- A splash of pickle juice
- A dash of vinegar essence
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the potatoes. Peel all the potatoes thoroughly, ensuring there are no spots or blemishes left. Cut the potatoes into small cubes or thin slices; this will help them cook more quickly and evenly.
- Place the diced or sliced potatoes into a large pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for a maximum of 10 minutes, checking for doneness after 8 minutes. The potatoes should be just tender but not falling apart. Drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool completely. This step is important to prevent the potatoes from breaking up when mixed into the salad.
- While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the other ingredients. Peel and finely dice the onions. Cut the Fleischwurst and salami into small, uniform cubes to ensure even distribution in the salad. Also, dice the sour pickles into small pieces.
- Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for at least 8 minutes to ensure the eggs are hard-boiled. Once done, transfer the eggs to cold water to stop the cooking process. Peel the eggs and slice them into even rounds.
- Prepare the sauce by combining the sour cream, Miracle Whip (or alternative salad mayonnaise), and medium hot mustard in a mixing bowl. Add a generous splash of pickle juice and a dash of vinegar essence to the bowl. Season the sauce generously with salt and pepper to taste. Whisk everything together until the sauce is smooth and well-blended.
- In a very large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potato pieces, diced onions, cubed Fleischwurst, cubed salami, and diced pickles. Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the mixture.
- Using a large spoon or spatula, gently fold all ingredients together, taking care not to break up the potatoes. Mix until everything is evenly coated with the sauce.
- Finally, add the sliced eggs to the salad. Carefully fold them in, being gentle so as not to break the egg slices. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least one hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the salad to chill. Serve the Kartoffelsalat cold or at room temperature in a large bowl. Enjoy!
Notes
For a vegetarian version, replace the Fleischwurst and salami with a jar of pickled sliced red beets, diced into small cubes. This not only makes the salad suitable for vegetarians but also gives it a beautiful rosy color. You can adjust the amount of mustard, pickle juice, and vinegar essence to taste. Allowing the salad to rest in the refrigerator before serving helps the flavors to develop fully. Mix the salad gently to avoid mashing the potatoes and keep the texture pleasant. The classic version with Fleischwurst and salami is a family favorite, but feel free to experiment with your own additions.
