How to Make Authentic Bavarian Potato Salad
- Boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until tender (about 15-20 minutes).
- While potatoes are still warm, slice them into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, and sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Slowly whisk in the grapeseed oil until a smooth vinaigrette forms.
- Add the warm potatoes to the vinaigrette and gently toss to coat.
- Stir in the thinly sliced red onions.
- Pour the melted butter over the salad and gently toss again to combine.
- If using cucumbers, thinly slice them, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, let sit for 5 minutes to draw out moisture, then gently squeeze out excess liquid before adding to the salad.
- Garnish with fresh chives or parsley.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters!
