Berliner Kartoffelsalat / Berliner Potato Salad

Recipe #103860 | 1 hour | 30 min prep | SERVES 12 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Berliner Göre (Brat)

This is my moms recipe for the mayo based version that you will find all over northern Germany, while southern Germany prefers the vinegar based/hot version. Make sure to let the salad rest for at least 2 hours so that all the flavors can blend and soak into the potatoes.

Ingredients

  • lbs potato
  • 5-6 baby dill pickle, chopped
  • medium onion, chopped
  • medium granny smith apples, chopped
  • 16 ounces mayonnaise (I often use the fat free kind)
  • tablespoons pickle juice
  • tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Make sure onion, pickles and apple are chopped the same size.
    2. 2
      Boil the whole potatoes with their skins on until tender about 20-30 minutes.
    3. 3
      Remove from pot and let rest until cool enough to handle but still warm, then peel and dice into preferred size.
    4. 4
      In a bowl combine all the ingredients except potatoes.
    5. 5
      Put potatoes into a big bowl, pour"sauce" over them and stir together carefully (potatoes break apart easily while still warm).
    6. 6
      Cover bowl and let rest in fridge for at least 2 hours (overnight is even better).
    7. 7
      Taste test and add more pickle juice, salt, pepper, sugar or mayo if/as needed.

    While this won't replace my regular potato salad I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. It has a nice flavor and the chopped apple was intriguing. I have it bookmarked to try again the next time I prepare German food. Thank you for sharing your family recipe!
