🥔 What Is German Potato Salad?
German Potato Salad is a warm, savory salad made with boiled waxy potatoes, crispy bacon, onions, and a vinegar-based dressing. Unlike American-style potato salad, which is usually served cold and made with mayonnaise, this version is tangy, warm, and full of bold flavor.
It’s a traditional German side dish, commonly served with sausages, schnitzel, or other hearty meats — and it’s especially popular during Oktoberfest celebrations!
❤️ Why I Love This Recipe
I love this authentic German Potato Salad because it’s warm, tangy, and comforting. Every time I make it for a party, it disappears within minutes — people always ask for the recipe!
It’s also the perfect side dish for meats like bratwurst, roast pork, or schnitzel, and it’s super easy to prepare. Whether served warm or at room temperature, it’s always a hit.
