Kartoffelsalat , or German potato salad, is a classic side dish often served at celebrations like Oktoberfest or family gatherings. This simple and delicious dish showcases the potato, a staple of German cuisine, with a vinaigrette dressing made from stock and vinegar, garnished with onions and fresh herbs. The recipe is naturally gluten-free. It pairs perfectly with grilled meats, sausages, or roasted pork knuckle .
You can customize this salad by adding chopped pickles or hard-boiled eggs for extra texture and flavor. For a creamier version, replace some of the oil with mayonnaise.
