Gordon Ramsay German Potato Salad Recipe 

This German potato salad is creamy, tangy, and full of flavor! Made with tender potatoes, a simple mustard-mayo dressing, and crunchy pickles, it’s the perfect side dish for any meal. Serve it cool or at room temperature for the best taste.

Ingredients Needed:

• 2 pounds of waxy potatoes, diced into bite-sized pieces
• ¾ cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons yellow mustard or stone-ground Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or lemon juice
• 1 small red onion, diced
• ¼ cup chopped cornichons or dill pickles, with 2 teaspoons reserved juice
• 2 scallions, finely chopped
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Chives, for garnish
• Paprika, for garnish

How To Make German Potato Salad Recipe?

1. Boil the potatoes: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 10–12 minutes until fork-tender but not mushy. Drain and let them cool to room temperature.
2. Make the dressing: In a large bowl, mix mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, red onion, chopped pickles, and scallions. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Combine everything: Add the cooled potatoes to the bowl and gently mix until well-coated.
4. Finish and serve: Taste and add more salt or pepper if needed. Garnish with chives and a sprinkle of paprika. Serve cool or at room temperature.

Recipe Tips:

• Cut potatoes the same size: This helps them cook evenly so some don’t turn mushy while others stay too hard.
• Salt the boiling water: Adding salt to the water gives the potatoes a better flavor from the inside, making the salad taste even better.
• Let potatoes cool completely: If they are too hot when mixed, the dressing can become watery, and the salad won’t be as creamy.
• Use pickle juice for extra flavor: Adding a little reserved pickle juice makes the dressing more tangy and enhances the overall taste.
• Gently mix the salad: Stir carefully to keep the potatoes from breaking apart and turning into mashed potatoes.

How To Store Leftovers?

Let the German Potato Salad cool to room temperature first. Then, put it in an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep it covered so it stays fresh.
