This classic German potato salad is a wonderful alternative to the traditional mayonnaise-based versions. Known as Kartoffelsalat, this dairy-free dish features waxy potatoes tossed in a warm, tangy dressing of chicken stock and white wine vinegar. The addition of salty bacon and fresh chives provides a delicious depth of flavour, while the mustard adds a subtle heat that cuts through the richness of the rendered fat.
Ideal for serving at a summer barbecue or as a hearty side dish for grilled meats, this versatile salad is best enjoyed while the potatoes are still warm. Because it relies on oil and vinegar rather than dairy, it is a practical choice for outdoor dining and gatherings. The combination of simple pantry staples creates a truly comforting, homemade dish that feels both traditional and sophisticated.

Ingredients for German Potato Salad
1.0kg potatoes (waxy variety, such as Yukon Gold
4 slices bacon
600ml chicken broth
60ml white wine vinegar
240ml onions, diced
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon sugar, or to taste
1/4 teaspoons ground white pepper
60ml vegetable oil
2 tablespoons mild brown mustard
1/2 bunch chives, snipped
How to make German Potato Salad
Cook the potatoes in simmering salted water until just tender, about 15-18 minutes. Drain and dry. While the potatoes are still hot, remove the skins and slice the potatoes 1/2-inch thick.
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing. Cook the bacon over medium-high heat until the fat has rendered and the bacon is crisp. Remove the bacon to a plate with a slotted spoon, reserving the bacon fat in the pan; crumble the bacon into small pieces, and reserve.
Bring the chicken broth, vinegar, onions, salt, sugar, and pepper to a boil.
Combine the oil, rendered bacon fat, and mustard with the warm potatoes. Pour the boiling broth-vinegar mixture over the potatoes. Toss in the crumbled bacon and chives.
