Though the potato salad is extremely popular in Europe, especially in Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic, in each country it is prepared differently. In Germans call it Kartoffelsalad and usually dress it with mayonnaise. The Czechs like to add other kinds of boiled vegetables. In Austria, Erdäpfelsalat is a traditional side dish for the Wiener schnitzel. I suggest you learn how to cook classical Viennese Potato Salad.

The most important things for the salad are as follows:

  1. Potatoes should be rather waxy than floury.
  2. Both white and red onions may be used, but the latter makes the salad look more appealing.
  3. Beef broth is traditionally used though you may use vegetable one as well. If broth replaced with water, the taste of the salad will be less rich.
  4. Since vegetable oil should have a neutral taste, sunflower seed oil is usually used. Pumpkin seed oil may also work well.
  5. The secret of the creamy-like sauce is tossing the salad while it’s still warm.

The Austrians usually add corn salad to the prepared potato salad. Chicory and dandelion leaves may also be added.

Thinly sliced cucumbers and radishes are added to the salad in summer, fried bacon strips – in winter, but those versions are not that classical 🙂
