Served warm alongside succulent bockwurst sausages, this salad balances comfort and zest perfectly, making it an ideal meal for casual family dinners or gatherings.

Ingredients

Salad Base

  • 800 g waxy potatoes, peeled and sliced
  • 1 medium red onion, finely chopped
  • 3 medium pickled cucumbers, diced
  • 2 spring onions, cut into thin rings

Dressing

  • 4 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon medium-hot mustard
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Side

  • 4 bockwurst sausages, cooked and served warm

Instructions

  1. Cook the potatoes: Cook the potato slices in a large pot of salted water for about 20–25 minutes until tender. Drain them, let them steam off slightly, and transfer them while still warm into a large bowl.
  2. Prepare the ingredients: Prepare the onion, pickled cucumbers, and spring onions, and distribute them evenly over the potatoes.
  3. Prepare the dressing: For the dressing, thoroughly mix the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  4. Mix the salad: Pour the dressing evenly over the warm ingredients and gently fold everything together so the potato slices don’t break apart.
  5. Serve the sausages: Warm the bockwurst sausages in hot water for 5 minutes and serve them together with the potato salad on plates.

Notes

  • Use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Charlotte to keep the salad from becoming mushy.
  • Adjust the mustard quantity depending on your preferred level of spiciness.
  • For a lighter version, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
  • Ensure sausages are warmed gently in hot water to maintain their juiciness without overcooking.
