Austrian Potato Salad
The Austrian Potato Salad is a delightful and refreshing dish known for its unique blend of flavors coming from tangy vinegar, robust mustard, and earthy potatoes. A staple in Austrian cuisine, it stands out with its vibrant taste and simplicity, perfect for complementing hearty main courses or serving as a fresh standalone dish.
Ingredients
- 800 grams waxy potatoes peeled and sliced
- 1 cup vegetable broth low sodium
- 1 medium yellow onion finely chopped
- 4 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 6 tablespoons neutral oil such as sunflower or canola
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons fresh chives or parsley finely chopped
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the sliced potatoes and cook until tender but firm, about 20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly. Place them in a large bowl.
- In a saucepan, warm the vegetable broth over medium heat. Stir in the chopped onions and let them simmer until they become translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Pour the onion and broth mixture over the potatoes while still warm. This allows the potatoes to absorb the flavors fully.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, oil, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
- Pour the dressing over the potatoes and gently toss to ensure every slice is coated.
- Sprinkle the chopped chives or parsley over the salad as a garnish for a fresh finish.
Notes
For a crunchier texture, add some crispy bacon bits or sliced radishes. Serve warm for a more authentic flavor experience.
