    Mmmmmm, love it.

    Btw I didn’t like any potato salad I’ve tried in Germany, though they have excellent potato. I find it too strong, too sour, they put too much vinegar here.
    We have it too in Serbia, and it’s very simple but much milder. Leek (instead of onions, much better taste…lots), salt, pepper and lemon juice. We eat it with fish.

    1. popsiclesociety Avatar

      Must be delicious with leeks and lemon juice 😉
      I am a sour kind of person 🤪 I always looked for their sour food including sauerkraut 😉

      1. Blogging_with_Bojana Avatar

        I don’t like their sourkraut either. There you go.

      2. popsiclesociety Avatar

        Hahaha 😂 for sure, too much vinegar 😉😂

      3. Blogging_with_Bojana Avatar

        Yes.
        We have it too, but ours takes a long time to make (no vinegar). You put cabbage in salty water in winter (needs to be cold) and wait a couple months. The cabbage turns sour with time. Then you make sour cabbage or salad. All natural, very tasty.
        The one with vinegar makes no sense to me because it’s both sweet and sour. Time is crucial. With time it’s perfectly sour.

        Back home I remember my grandma used to do it the same in the winter months! Cabbage, water and salt for a few months and then we used to eat it seasoned just with a little bit of oil…was delicious 😋
        She used to do the full cabbage that we used to make cabbage rolls or called “sarmale” and also shredded cabbage that we used to it as a salad or make stuffed peppers with it 😋 super delicious 😋

      5. Blogging_with_Bojana Avatar

        Sarme, yes. We make those. And the salad, with olive oil and paprika. Yummy.

      6. popsiclesociety Avatar

        It’s obvious that our countries are neighbors right? 🤪 My childhood food 😋

    I love a potato salad with a vinaigrette rather than a heavier sauce. Looks simply delicious!

    1. popsiclesociety Avatar

      I love potatoes in any way and what I love most of this is that is so very simple but still with such an interesting taste effortless 😉

      1. Dorothy's New Vintage Kitchen Avatar

        I agree with you totally! Potatoes are best when prepared simply.

    It’s German potato *salad to one person singular and potatoes ** salad to two people plural

    I prefer German potato salad to the kind with mayo (I am not a mayo fan). The vegetable broth thing is interesting.

    1. popsiclesociety Avatar

      Thank you very much for sharing! Oh yes, with mayo is good too…actually I like potatoes on any way possible 🤪🥔
      The broth it gives them a wonderful flavor 😉

    We also prepare this dish at home. I don’t know it’s name but my kids love to eat it with flattened bread or boiled rice and lentils.

    I’ve never had a potato dish that I didn’t like and the potato salads that I have enjoyed in both Germany and Austria have been delicious. Thanks for the tip about nutmeg…I’ll give it a try.

    This is how the potato salad is eaten in the South. We do not add vinegar in Northern Germany at all. Not our cup of tea be honest, Mayo or salad cream is more common where I am from.

    1. popsiclesociety Avatar

      I guess every region has its own 😉 that’s the beauty 😉😊

    I absolutely love potatoes. I like the way you’ve said it here. What potatoes do you use for salads like such? I prefer yukon gold.

    1. popsiclesociety Avatar

      Thank you very much! I’m a potatoes lover too 😉
      Honestly I don’t know exactly what kind of potatoes are, they say only white potatoes 🤪 but you may use Yukon Gold as have a fairly firm and moist texture 😉

      1. Shanyu Avatar

        My pleasure friend. Thank you for the answer, though I’ve learned way before that no potato is lesser to a potato lover. No?

      2. popsiclesociety Avatar

        Exactly 😉
