Ingredients

• 2 pounds small waxy potatoes
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup olive oil
• 1 small red onion, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 cup chives, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Scrub the potatoes thoroughly and place them in a large pot of salted water.

Step 2

Bring the pot to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender but still firm, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool until they can be handled safely.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooling, prepare the dressing by whisking together the vegetable broth, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.

Step 5

Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuing to whisk, creating an emulsion.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

Step 7

Place the warm potato slices in a large mixing bowl and pour over the warm vinaigrette dressing.

Step 8

Carefully fold in the finely chopped red onion, ensuring all the potato slices are well coated with the dressing.

Step 9

Leave the salad to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Just before serving, gently fold in the chopped parsley and chives.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or vinegar to your preference.

Step 12

Serve the potato salad at room temperature or chilled, alongside your favorite German-inspired dishes.
