How to Make Authentic German Summer Potato Salad Leichter Kartoffelsalat

1. Place 1 pound of small red potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil.
2. Boil for 12-15 minutes, or until a sharp knife easily pierces a potato but offers slight resistance.
3. Carefully drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool slightly before peeling.
4. Once cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
5. Set the sliced potatoes aside in a large bowl, cover with foil to keep warm.
6. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
7. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes.
8. Remove from heat and stir in the juice of 1 large lemon.
9. Pour the warm dressing over the sliced potatoes, gently tossing to coat evenly.
10. Cover the bowl and let the potato salad cool completely to room temperature (at least 30 minutes). This allows the flavors to meld.
11. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives (optional).
