Directions
Last September I visited my friend, who lives in Nurnberg. At that weekend, her hairstylist friend threw a party in his newly-opened studio, and we happened to be there. The studio was on the upper floor of a riverside building in the very center of the historic area of the city. Although it was chilly, we went out to the huge terrace to enjoy the night city view. They served cocktails, beer and wine, and some traditional German snacks – sausages grilled right there on the terrace, and the host’s mum made a potato salad. I noticed a very peculiar combination of tastes, there were orange and fresh veggies in the salad.
I enjoy making this salad at home, but opinions are divided – my dad and I love this salad, but my mum and husband don’t really like it. Such polar opinions are common when it comes to potato salads. You can tell from the comments under my post about Viennese Potato Salad, some love this food, others fully reject this kind of salads. I’m still posting this recipe as it is worth your attention. Besides, on the website, you can find an Austrian variation of a potato salad, and it must go together with a mayo variation. Read, try out and tell whether you like it or not!
Bon appetite!
(On the photo you see a classic mayo potato salad. The party variation with orange is much fancier in taste and color).
