In reply to Darleen. Your Mom comes from a beautiful part of Germany! My family and I spent many happy days on vacation in this part of Germany. :-) I've always liked the cuisine up north and you're absolutely right up there adding raw onion is common. It's a great addition and anyone who reads this comment should give it a try. Thank you for sharing.

Your recipe is almost the same as my mom’s from Ostfreisland. She put some white onion in hers and salt and pepper. She always would garnish with boiled eggs halved on top and some parsley. Your other Oma’s recipe sounds yummy!

You’re right, Suzanne. Hot potato salad is also a traditional German recipe. I think hot potato salad is more common in the south of Germany.
One of the exciting things about German cuisine is that you can have the same dish cooked completely differently.
I grew up in Dusseldorf (West Germany) and had two grandmothers who moved to Dusseldorf from different regions in Germany. And each of them used different potato salad recipes. Neither one of them made a hot one. 😉 Hope that makes sense. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

I thought authentic German potato salad had hot dressing with bacon. This potato salad is really good, but it’s how I always make it

I appreciate the tutorial on pronouncing this is German – I can usually manage French and a little Spanish, but I’m not as familiar with German! Sounds like a really tasty (and tangy) potato salad!

This is a fantastic potato salad. I really like that you use pickle juice in it!

OK I am now converted to German potato salad. I love potato salad anyway (it’s potatoes, what’s not to love?), but this looks even more incredible!

I am ever such a big fan of potato salad so I am definitely going to have to try this traditional German recipe – it looks and sounds SO good.
