I had never had German potato salad until we moved here to Evansville, IN back in 1981. But I have become a big fan of the dish since there is a strong German heritage here. Every version I have had included a bit of sugar to offset the vinegar, a sweet & sour combo.
This recipe makes me remember my. Childhood as my Polish Busha made This is made in my family by mixing the vinegar, sugar and water in the pan with the onions and bacon Bring to a books for 5 min then thicken with a slurry if cornstarch and a little water add lots of pepper and pour over the steamed sliced potatoes. We used the same dressing technique to make wilted lettuce salad. Yours looked yummy haven’t made this in a while I see a weekend project in my future. Thanks for all you do
Tammy, I love the way You do Things. I am German and live in Germany again. But I lived 25 years in the US. I had Former Inlaws in the south. You make me remember those good times. Your recipe is how we really do it here. If you find vinegar too sour you can Substitute with pickle Juice. Greetings from Germany Marion
My family makes that! We put a bit of sugar and caraway seeds. But not flour. But there are all kinds of different ways to make it. At family gatherings my Grandma made the best and the whole pot would be gone🤗
I almost had a stroke when the milk came out. Good catch Chris. Grew up on this. My grandfather from Germany and a Chef by trade. Sugar and Vinegar a base for dressings in Germany. Americans use Mayo. Different profile all together. If you peel the potatoes the dressing will soak in. Love your videos and recipes.
Not a bad idea however it would no longer be German potato salad the great thing about the way this is made is it can be taken to picnics without issue and also is great as a cold salad
My mother was German and she always had something sweet and sour at every meal to remind us there is good and bad in life but both can help you grow. That is why the sugar and vinager. Her coleslaw was cabbage, sugar, vinager, celery seed, sale and pepper.
🤔My recipe calls for green onions and they are not sauted because they will release and wilt into the salad when mixed and it does make a difference...NO MILK EVER!!! It's bacon grease, add sugar and vinegar and stir until sugar is dissolved then mix a slurry of flour & water and when thickened pour over your peeled red potatoes add chopped bacon and sliced green onions and stir to mix well...I love hot German bacon potato salad and I love it more the next day cold and I make extra sauce😉👍
I always add a little bit of sugar to the sauce. With the vinegar it gives it a sweet and sour taste. I have also added a little mustard to it for something different. I love German potato salad.
I must say I am getting a much needed chuckle with y’all. I’m going to send you my Aunt Rita’s German Potato Salad recipe. You really should cook the onions, vinegar, brown sugar on stove so sugar dissolves. I add the bacon back in and let it cook down. Then thicken with cornstarch slurry.
Thanks Tammy and Chris, I'm sure you will put your own touch in the Hot German Potato Salad ♡♡♡ I think it's so neat how we put our own touch in the recipes♡♡♡ Everyone has different taste buds♡♡♡ I enjoyed watching you cook♡♡♡ Thank you so very much for sharing with us ♡♡♡ We Love y'all so very much ♡♡♡ GOD BLESS Y'ALL ♡♡♡
I made this for a family gathering, and got some perplexed looks because we aren’t big on German potato salad, but we liked this recipe a lot. It was much less sharp than how It is served in Wisconsin. My son, who had the most disappointed face when learning the menu, took some home with him. It is a nice, mellow change from our usual mayo and egg based potato salad, it went very well with BBQ chicken and ribs.
My Aunt made Hot German Potato often with pork chops. She used celery seed, 2 Tab. Flour, gran sugar, white vinegar, blk. pepper and water. I know there are all diffetent versions. I enjoy your show. God bless you and your family.
I love Hot German Potato Salad. I’ve had it since I was a Kid, in my 70’s now. I’ll have to send you my recipe when I can dig it out. Fun watching you. Carol
For ours we used to fry the bacon, then sautéed the onions in the grease, beat a few eggs, added them to the onions and bacon, then added the sugar to the egg mixture until it thickened. That was the warm sauce we poured over the potatoes. I'm pretty sure the sauce had a little vinegar in it, somewhere it baked for celery seed but we never had any of the fancy seasonings growing up, just salt & pepper. One of our friends liked chopped celery in theirs. We always served it warm. I wish that I still had that old recipe of Mum's!
I love German potato salad. I have made it before and used russet potatoes sliced. Poured the sauce over the top and baked in the oven. I think bacon, sugar and vinegar. It was really good.
Thanks for the memories. Love the hot German potato salad. I was an Army Brat many years ago & fell in love with German food. They never used milk though. 😋
Thank you for making my evening fun watching you make nother recipe because you can! never made German potato salad will give it try.you never get flustered when things aren't just perfect, love tht about you.
I love German potato salad, my grandmother would add a couple teaspoons of sugar to it. So it was sweet and sour. She also sliced the potatoes thinner. I make her recipe it is very good.
My Sweet Momma was German and made Cole Slaw using the same recipe. Definitely need the sugar, but she loved it without it, so she had hers and the rest of family got the sugar. Wonderful memories.
Tammy, you’re too funny! I just love your husband Chris. You two work so well together. You did a great job on the German tato salad. I have never made it, but I have eaten it several times.
My second time to watch this video. I love this kind of cooking. I made your microwave chocolate pie last week and it was delicious. My first microwave pie. I am making a coconut this week.
We had a restaurant in the mall many, many years ago called Mr Dunderbak's which served German Potato Salad. It was good for something different but I'd never choose it over the good ole southern potato salad. I like trying different foods. Heck...I'll try almost anything once 😍😂 Tammy and Chris, y'all are the CUTEST things, I just LOVE y'all!!😍😍
Love that you try different recipes. That is what makes cooking so much fun. If something doesn't work out just try again. No sweat. God bless y'all. Beth 😊
Hey Tammy and Chris! Got on here late. I love German potato salad! 🥔 I haven't made it in a long time. My husband really liked it. Another way I fix potato salad my older sister showed me is, is peel, cut up and gently cook just till fork tender. Turn them into a rimmed cookie sheet. My sister made scratch Italian dressing but I just use store bought Italian dressing. Pour some dressing onto the potatoes, kind of lightly covered. Let sit to soak in the potatoes for like half hour to hour. Then make your salad just like you usually do. Mayo, and whatever you put in your potato salad. You can eat this room temp or chill. However you like it! 👍 😊
I made 15 gal. Of this for my husband's cousins wedding.His special request....I was a busy girl prepping but the appreciation was worth it.It became thier wedding gift from us.Now 25 yrs later they are having an anniversary celebration.
Our family recipe is from our German ancestors. Fry bacon and remove. Add chopped celery and onion and cook a little. Then Add sugar and vinegar and water. Scramble a couple of eggs. Temper the eggs by adding a small amount of the vinegar water, then add a bit more vinegar water. Then put the tempered eggs mixture into the frying pan. Stir and cook until the mixture thickens. Taste And adjust the sugar salt vinegar to your liking. Pour over your potatoes. Stir well. Crumble the bacon on top (so it stays crisp). Yummy
My German and Pennsylvania Dutch grandmothers taught me the same recipe accept before the vinegar and water get to warm we add the beaten eggs then bring to a boil and thicken, avoiding having to temper the eggs. They also did not over cook celery and onions so there was a tender crunch.
Oooooo!! I grew up in Germany as a military Brat. I miss German potato salad so much and haven't found a recipe I'm happy with, but this looks like IT!! Can you please post the recipe under your comments? I can't wait to try it!
I’m so glad your husband pointed out that about the milk addition with vinegar- that’s a way to curdle the milk, a buttermilk substitute. I’m enjoying your channel. Reminds me of my Mimi’s cooking 💗
Tammy you need to think of German potato salad more like a regular salad with oil and vinegar dressing. The oil is the bacon grease and the vinegar you add makes the "salad dressing" for the potatoes. Not supposed to have a creamy base like regular potato salad. Large German influence in food here in Texas😉
I love German potato salad! Maybe by being of a family decent of German heritage... If you like salt and vinegar potato chips, you’ll probably like this. When you mentioned milk, I kept saying, No! No! Lol. Glad you liked it. It defiantly is not like other potato salads most people are familiar with.
Keep the grease! Actually, you need more. Never heard oof flour os aour cream in it. Its a sweet and sour dressing on it made with bacon greas! Vinegar and sugar.
Tammy...The potato salad will have a reaction in a stainless steel bowl with vinegar..You need to make the potato salad in a ceramic or plastic bowl...Blessings....
I grew up with sour sauerkraut and sour German potato salad and I almost feinted when you put sugar in it. I was waiting to see how you liked it without it! But I understand, because I don't like okra or brussel sprouts. Do you make harvard beets? I like those. I think there's more of the German heritage in my Pennsylvania upbringing than I knew, Polish, too. My dad was Polish. It was fun watching you and Chris with this recipe. You looked like a couple of mad scientists, in the lab, working on a secret experiment! You will probably market this next year! 😂😂 All in fun. I love you both. 🥰
Your German Potato Salad brought back fond memories of the German neighborhood I was raised in. The potatoes were warm and so-so good! I am trying to remember. ..it seems the onions were sliced and the potatoes had soaked up the sauce. Dill sounds right. You are doing a good job Tammy! I enjoy trying new things too. Looking forward to following the recipes that will be coming out of your new kitchen! ~Diane
That beautiful stove and fridge - your kitchen is so beautiful -We Love this - it’s pretty with red and green pepper in with your onions and grease -- we like it warm or cold 💚
2T vinegar in 1C milk will curdle the milk. Them you can use the milk in place of buttermilk in recipes. I dont keep buttermilk on hand so I use tis akk the time. Buttermilk pancakes...
Looks Yummy. My favorite potato salad is Italian Potato Salad but that's probably the Italian in me.... But if you add vinegar to milk it makes it buttermilk...
Tammy, I always have parsley in my freezer. I buy a bunch & rinse it , Shake off excess water . Put it in a plastic bag & freeze. When I need parsley for something I just chop off what I need & put back in freezer. I like it better than dried parsley. gives a much better flavor.
Yes my mother was German we would have warm potato salad with which included potatoes, fried bacon, crumble the bacon on the cooked potatoes add bacon grease also chop up some onions and soften them in the bacon grease and then add them to the potatoes add boiled eggs add mayo add parsley and then your salt pepper no vinegar in hers. Donna
I also had the same recipe with my Presto and it was delicious! Over the years the recipe disappeared but I really loved it. I do recall there was no gravy in it.
I know about 3 types of German potato salad. One is warm made with vinegar, bacon grease, water and small amount of sugar (so good) but potatoes are sliced about 1/4 not chunks as this allows the "sauce" to marinate all around the potatoes for more flavor. Then there is one made with mayo and pickles and another is made with broth. The one with vinegar makes almost an emulsion between the bacon grease, the vinegar and sugar and it is so good. It's like a sweet & sour taste....but never add mayo to this kind. If too thin of dressing, use corn starch to thicken.
I usually pour a little vinegar or lemon juice into milk to curdle it like buttermilk............I used to eat a lot of German potato salad in Texas but have never made it. They would mush up the potatoes with their hands.............. I didn't think I would like it at first but it was pretty good for being as mushy as it was. I can't say any of it had gravy on it.........usually mustard, mayo and vinegar with other spices..........it was different.

OMG!! I grew up on German potato salad. my dad was from Germany. we never put milk in ours. love it.

That’s how my great grandmother did it.
Chris, I love how you said “we read the recipe and DO WHAT WE WANT”! I never have to fix CVC recipes!👍🏾😊😊
I’ve been so sick for four months so thank you from the bottom of my heart for the uplifting video. Bless you and your family.
That was the perfect ending. Nice to see you two together like that.
Words to live by..... we read the recipe, then we do what we want " lol Me too.
My grandma was German and I loved her potato salad
Love this recipe! My children love it. My grandmother made this as a secondary potato salad
You had me at “onion in the bacon grease”. Looks delicious
TEAM WORK MAKES DREAM WORK , WAY GO CHRIS...LOVE WATCHING YAL...THANKS
My Dad used to tell me " the more electric components something had, the more things there were to go wrong with it ". He was so right!
Yes he was
He was so right, that’s why I always wanted my new cars to just be off and on.No electric this and electric that. Just something else to tear up.
Sugar please!!
That's the way I see it too, Pamela, with cars being the same way. The least I have on something the better I like it.
I think it's supposed to have some sugar in it Sort of sweet and sour.
Yep. Sugar and chopped boiled eggs.
Yes to sugar. Egg isn’t a classical addition to German potato salad.
(I’m a Chef)
Tammy, I love the way You do Things. I am German and live in Germany again. But I lived 25 years in the US. I had Former Inlaws in the south. You make me remember those good times. Your recipe is how we really do it here. If you find vinegar too sour you can Substitute with pickle Juice. Greetings from Germany Marion
I may have to try it that way 🤔 the bacon grease was over the top do yall really use that much?
I enjoyed watching. Very charming couple. I will try this recipe. Thanks!
I have been looking all over for this recipe and I love you and Chris and your show so much.
I really enjoy watching!!!! Love your home recipes.....delicious!!!!

I was wondering about adding the milk to the recipe containing vinegar as well. Vinegar and milk makes buttermilk.
Not a bad idea however it would no longer be German potato salad the great thing about the way this is made is it can be taken to picnics without issue and also is great as a cold salad
Tammy, I always add a bit of sugar and Dijon mustard to my gravy. Takes the bite out of the vinegar and I know you love mustard!
Oooooo, mustard, great idea.

I love German potato salad, my grandmother would add a couple teaspoons of sugar to it. So it was sweet and sour. She also sliced the potatoes thinner. I make her recipe it is very good.
Yes, potatoes are peeled & thinly sliced.
My Sweet Momma was German and made Cole Slaw using the same recipe. Definitely need the sugar, but she loved it without it, so she had hers and the rest of family got the sugar. Wonderful memories.
I love the true life way of cooking you guys do. Its just like home. It makes it real!

German potatoe salad is good when made right.
Aunt Thora decorated her German Potato Salad with sliced hard cooked eggs.
I’m so glad your husband pointed out that about the milk addition with vinegar- that’s a way to curdle the milk, a buttermilk substitute.

Green or Spring Onions work great in this
I have baked mine at 375 for 15 to 20 minutes. Taste fine.
My mom always made this...people loved it!

I can smell those onions cooking from here, always takes me back to my childhood. Thanks for the old and new memories Tammy!
Vinegar curtles milk. It’s a substitute for buttermilk.
20:49 Oh my goodness love the two of you,thanks for the recipe. ❤
Looks Yummy. My favorite potato salad is Italian Potato Salad but that's probably the Italian in me.... But if you add vinegar to milk it makes it buttermilk...
I LOVE German Potato Salad! I'm glad you left out the milk. Thats what makes this unique. No cream or mayonnaise.
The leftover potatoes taste awesome in beef stew!
Yall crack me up!!!🤣🤣🤣
I've always had it with a bit of sugar. That sweet and sour taste is amazing!
Milk????! Flour? GRAVY? THERE'S NO GRAVY IN GeRMAN potatoe Salad
Tammy, I always have parsley in my freezer. I buy a bunch & rinse it , Shake off excess water . Put it in a plastic bag & freeze. When I need parsley for something I just chop off what I need & put back in freezer. I like it better than dried parsley. gives a much better flavor.
Honey,
That looks good. For real. I want some! Bye Lizzie lu
Yes my mother was German we would have warm potato salad with which included potatoes, fried bacon, crumble the bacon on the cooked potatoes add bacon grease also chop up some onions and soften them in the bacon grease and then add them to the potatoes add boiled eggs add mayo add parsley and then your salt pepper no vinegar in hers. Donna
It looks really good, Tammy, even tho I always prefer Southern Style. Sweet and sour can always go together.
Hi Tammy this recipe looks delicious.
Yes, you can add vinegar to milk to make buttermilk
My grandmother was full blooded German. I remember eating hers. I don't know how she made it, but it was good!
I love bacon and bacon grease , 👍😊 I like how you said you were going to start on making the solution 😂😂 chemistry class flashback .
Hi. I’m new subscriber from Southern California. I made hot German potatoes all times. I never put milk in.
Sugar, vinegar,bacon grease are cooked for the dressing. I'd keep the onions with the dressing to fold in. Some add Dijon to the dressing.
My grandma always made this
I'm German,Irish and Native American .I don't like foods with vinegar very often.
Many years ago I bought a Presto pressure cooler and a recipe book came with it. German potato Salas was in it
I loved it! It was served hot and had bacon and vinegar in it. It was delish!
I also had the same recipe with my Presto and it was delicious! Over the years the recipe disappeared but I really loved it. I do recall there was no gravy in it.
