Berlin style German potato salad

 



Ingredients
  • 2 lbs./1kg potatoes, Yellow Finn, Yukon Gold, and red potatoes tend to work best
  • 2 teaspoons mustard
  • 3 teaspoons sugar
  • ½ cup/100 ml pickle juice
  • ¼ cup/50 ml white wine vinegar
  • ½ cup/100 ml sunflower oil
  • 1 purple onion, chopped finely
  • 1 apple, a tart kind such as Pink Lady, chopped
  • 4-5 medium pickles, chopped
  • 3-4 green onions, chopped
  • salt and fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water and tablespoon of salt, cook until tender and rinse with cold water. Once cool enough to handle, peel and slice potatoes.
  2. In the meantime put mustard, sugar, pickle juice, vinegar, oil, very finely chopped onion, some salt, and quite a bit of fresh ground black pepper in a sealable jar or glass and shake to combine.
  3. In a large bowl place one layer of potato slices, followed by a handful of pickles, a handful of apples, a couple of spoonfuls of dressing and salt and pepper. Continue to layer until all of the ingredients are used up and pour any excess dressing over the top.
  4. Allow salad to sit at least 3-4 hours, but preferably overnight and then toss to combine.
  5. Mix in the chopped green onions and serve.
