German Potato Salad

A hearty salad, perfect to bring along to a cookout or barbecue!

Ingredients (for 4 people):

  • 14.1 oz potatoes
  • 3/4 cup of spicy sausage (already cooked)
  • 1 scallion
  • 1 handful of sweet and sour gherkins
  • 4 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp of mustard
  • Salt and pepper (for seasoning)
  • Fresh parsley (for seasoning)

Instructions:

  1. Bring a pot of water to the boil. Add the potatoes and sprinkle generously with salt. After 20 mins. drain the potatoes and allow to cool.

  2. Cut the gherkins into thin slices, and add them to a bowl. Chop the scallion and sausage into small pieces. Mix.
  3. Season with the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix everything really well, and leave in the refrigerator covered until it's time to serve, as this salad is best served very cold. 

Good to know: Although we leave the cooked sausage cold in this recipe, feel free to give the sliced a little fry if you'd prefer. This will bring out the flavor of the sausage a little more, and will also give it a crispier edge.
