Description

A hearty, tangy German potato salad with a vinegar-based dressing, perfect for potlucks or family dinners. This halal-friendly recipe skips pork and uses a sweet-tangy vinaigrette to highlight the potatoes’ natural flavor.


Ingredients

Scale

2.5 lbs Potatoes, waxy (e.g., Yukon Gold or Red)
1 medium Yellow Onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 cup Water
2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar

2 tablespoons Olive Oil


Instructions

Peel and cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes
Boil potatoes in salted water until tender (10-12 minutes), then drain and cool
In a large pan, heat olive oil, then cook onions until softened (3-4 minutes)
Add vinegar, water, sugar, and mustard to the pan; simmer 5-6 minutes until reduced to a glaze
Toss cooked onions and dressing into cooled potatoes until evenly coated

Notes

Substitute vinegar with equal parts non-alcoholic apple cider for stricter dietary needs
