German american potato salad
Discover the mouthwatering blend of German and American flavors in this delectable potato salad recipe. Perfect for a tasty and satisfying meal.
Ingredients:
- 910g Potatoes ( Yellow Finn or German Butterball)
- 450g green beans
- 2 cups mixed greens
- ½ cups olive oil
- 1/3 cup red vine vinegar
- 1 cup finely chopped red onions
- 1 ½ teaspoons mustard
- ½ teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1+ tablespoons cornichon ( pickle)juice
- 3-4 radishes
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
Instructions:
- While the potatoes are being steamed, combine the oil, vinegar, and mustard in a small, sturdy saucepan. Stir well and incorporate the onions. Heat the vinaigrette slowly until it is warmed through (but not boiling). Stir in sugar, salt, and pepper while the vinaigrette is heating up.
- Clean and steam the potatoes in a lidded pot for 20-30 minutes, adjusting the cooking time based on the potatoes' size. Check for doneness with a sharp paring knife. Be careful not to overcook the potatoes. Remove the skins and slice the potatoes while they are hot. Place the potatoes in a bowl and drizzle 3/4 of the vinaigrette over them. Gently mix to ensure all potatoes are coated with the vinaigrette. Additional vinaigrette may be needed. Cover the bowl and let it cool to room temperature. Marinated potatoes can be refrigerated for a day or longer.
- Steam the washed and trimmed green beans in a covered pot for 3-4 minutes. I prefer my beans slightly firm. Once done, transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to preserve their vibrant green color. Pat them dry, place in a bowl, and toss with some of the vinaigrette. Cover the bowl and keep at room temperature if serving the same day. Otherwise, refrigerate the beans.
- To serve, arrange the mixed greens on a large platter. Taste the potato salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, and pickle juice if necessary. Pile the potatoes in the center of the platter, placing the beans around them. Garnish with radishes and sprinkle with coarse sea salt and chopped chives.
