Description

German potato salad is a traditional dish originating from Germany, known in German as Kartoffelsalat. It is a cold or warm salad, whose main ingredient is boiled and sliced or diced potato, combined with a vinaigrette based on vinegar, oil, mustard, onion and, in some versions, broth or mayonnaise.

This dish is very popular not only in Germany but also in various regions of Europe and Latin America, where it has been adapted to local tastes. German potato salad is usually served as an accompaniment to meats, sausages, and other typical dishes.

Properties: German potato salad is an important source of complex carbohydrates, thanks to the potatoes. In addition, it provides dietary fiber if prepared with the skin or onion, and proteins if additional ingredients such as egg or bacon are included. Depending on the recipe, it can be low in fat if the vinaigrette predominates, or more caloric if it contains mayonnaise.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: given the nature of the dish, it is commonly known simply as ensalada alemana de papa (German potato salad). In some regions it may be called ensalada de papa estilo alemán (German-style potato salad) or ensalada de papas alemana (German potato salad). In other countries, it may be associated with terms such as ensalada de papas vinagreta (vinaigrette potato salad), although the latter may vary in ingredients and preparation.
