Here is a family recipe from my family! Its German Potato salad! My grandma's recipe!
You'll Need
Ingredients
Yukon gold potatoes, red potatoes or Idaho (But make sure they are fully peeled of their skins! No Skins for this recipe!)
Diced onion (However much you want, eyeball it according to your flavor and taste preference!)
Water(Not to much, start with a little and keep adding for flavor.)
Extra Virgin Olive oil (Start out with what you consider a good amount, taste test it for flavor until you like the taste of the mixture)
Salt (Sea salt or kosher salt works best! Iodized salt i feel isn't the right texture of flavor for this!)
Black pepper (Fresh ground is best, but regular ground is fine if thats all you have!)
White distilled Vinegar (Mix in with the pepper and chives after the water, salt and oil mixture!)
Chives (My addition to this recipe, used to top of the finished product to add pretty green color to it!)
Directions
Start with peeling your potatoes (I normally go with four or five potatoes and boil them whole, but increase if cooking for more people) Once peeled, drop them into a pot of boiling water (Which you should set on the stove to boil, before peeling your potatoes!) Next dice your onions nice and fine to mix with the potatoes once cooked. However! Once the potatoes are cooked you need to let them cool! A tip my grandma gave me is let them cool for like an hour or two or overnight so that they don't have a mealy texture or consistency once everything is mixed together! Next, once the potatoes are nice and cool, mix together the potatoes, diced onions, the water, extra virgin olive oil and the salt! Mash and mix together with a fork, taste testing as you go until you get a nice flavor that isn't to oily tasting or bland from water, it should just taste good in your mouth and not taste too salty! Best way I can describe it! After that you eyeball how much white distilled vinegar you want to mix in along with topping the whole top of the potato salad with fresh ground black pepper and then chives. After that taste the finished product to see if its according to your taste preference and enjoy!
That's my addition to the athanas cookbook!! Hope everyone enjoys!
