German Potato Salad


German potato salad most often features bacon instead of peppered salami, parsley or chives instead of dill, and uses dijon mustard instead of German mustard. But then most of the recipes you see for this dish come from the US, where preferences are slightly different. 

 The ingredients are: semi-peeled boiled potato; 2 finely chopped small onion, or shallots; 1 tbsp light olive oil;1 tbsp white wine vinegar; 1 tsp German mustard; 4 diced gherkins; chopped fresh dill, or half a teaspoonful of dried dill; 8 slices of thin finely shredded pepper salami.


The potatoes were boiled for twenty minutes under glass in salted water. Then decanted to a bowl, and allowed to cool. The onions or shallots were finely diced, and soused in white vinegar. The gherkins were also finely sliced and added to the onions. Then the teaspoonful of German mustard was stirred through the onions and gherkins. Add the dill and stir through.Put in the fridge for a couple of hours.  


Once the potatoes are cool, the onion, gherkin and mustard salsa can be added to them, Dice the peppered salami and add to the dish when you are ready to serve. Stir through thoroughly.
