Day Two of our Around the World in 80 Days series bring us to Germany to learn a recipe for German Potato Salad. There are several different versions of German Potato Salad, just like there are in America. This recipe calls for apples!
Potato Salad (‘Kartoffelsalat’) 
- 800g (28 oz.) cooked potatos
- 2 onions
- 100g (3.5 oz.) pickled cucumbers
- 3 hard boiled eggs
- 6 tbsp. mayonnaise
- 3 tbsp. liquid of the pickled cucumbers
- 1 tbsp. mustard
- Salt, Pepper
- Optional: 1 apple
Wash potatoes, peel and cook them for about 20-25 minutes until they are fully cooked. Drain them, let them cool and cut them into slices or cubes (whatever you prefer).
Then, peel the onions and also cut them into cubes. Cut the pickled cucumbers, the hard boiled eggs (and the apple) in slices.
Mix the mayonnaise, the liquid of the pickled cucumbers and the mustard and mix it carefully with all the other ingredients. Salt and pepper and wait for at least 30 minutes until you serve it.
