"This
recipe came from Germany, where it was passed down through our family.
My grandmother made it for me when I was a child...my mother modified
it...and I added my own touches. It still has authentic German flavor,
and it's in demand for every cookout or potluck we attend!"
Ingredients:
|
12 medium red potatoes
110 g onion, finely chopped
3 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
2 dill pickles, finely chopped
8 g snipped fresh parsley
180 ml chicken broth (I used veggie broth)
|
175 g mayonnaise
9 g salt
1 g pepper
0.7 g garlic powder
2 tomatoes, cubed (optional)
36 g bacon strips, cooked and crumbled (optional)
|
Directions:
| 1. | Cook potatoes in boiling salted water until tender. Drain; cool slightly. Peel (I left the skins on) and slice potatoes; combine with onion, eggs, pickles and parsley in a large salad bowl. Set aside. Heat chicken broth until warm; remove from the heat. Add mayonnaise, salt, pepper and garlic powder; mix until smooth. Pour over potato mixture and mix lightly. Cover and chill. Just before serving, gently stir in tomatoes and bacon. |
