Kartoffelsalat , or German potato salad, is a classic side dish often served at parties like Oktoberfest or family gatherings . This simple and delicious dish highlights the potato, a central ingredient of German cuisine, with a vinaigrette sauce made from broth and vinegar, garnished with onions and fresh herbs. The recipe is naturally gluten-free. It goes perfectly with grilled meats, sausages or a roast pork shank.
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.
