Ingredients

Servings

• 1 kg of firm potatoes (Charlotte type)

• 1 onion, finely chopped

• 200 ml gluten-free chicken or vegetable stock

• 2 Tbsp of cider vinegar

• 3 Tbsp of vegetable oil (sunflower or rapeseed oil)

• 1 tbsp gluten-free mustard

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 1 tbsp chopped chives or fresh parsley

Preparation

1. Cooking the potatoes: Cook the potatoes in salted water with their skins on for about 20 minutes, until tender but still firm. Drain them, let them cool slightly, then peel them and cut them into slices.
2. Preparation of the vinaigrette: In a small saucepan, heat the gluten-free broth, then add the vinegar, oil, mustard, and chopped onion. Stir well and season with salt and pepper.
3. Assembly: Pour the hot vinaigrette over the potatoes and toss gently to coat the slices well. Let sit for 30 minutes to an hour for flavors to develop.
4. Serving: Before serving, sprinkle with chives or fresh parsley. Kartoffelsalat is often served at room temperature or slightly warm, as an accompaniment to meat dishes or sausages.

Note

You can customize this salad by adding chopped pickles or hard-boiled eggs for added texture and flavor. For a creamier version, replace some of the oil with mayonnaise.
