Oma's German Potato Salad

I learned this recipe from my German grandma. It's the style made in southern Germany which is made with hot broth and vinegar instead of mayo. This is one of my all time favorite dishes! This is best eaten warm and goes great with grilled sausages :)
*Note: You can use homemade broth or instant broth, and leave out the onions if you're not a fan. Also, my grandma always used to beat a raw egg into the dressing to make it thicker. If you use egg, just make sure it's very fresh and from well-raised chickens!

Steps
- 1
Add unpeeled potatoes in a pot of water with 1 tsp salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 20 minutes or until you can easily pass a fork through the center.
- 2
Meanwhile, mince onion if using. My grandma preferred onions but my mother always leaves them out. You can sauté it a little to soften the sharpness if you want.
- 3
Drain potatoes and let potatoes cool until you can hold them with your hands and peel them. Peel away skin away with a butter knife. Slice into a bowl and add onions if using.
- 4
Mix together warm broth, mustard, vinegar and oil.
- 5
Pour mixture over potatoes and stir well. Add dill/parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.
- 6
Let sit for 30 minutes to one hour to let the flavor set in. Adjust taste with more salt and pepper, or add a little more mustard and vinegar if you like. If the vinegar is too sharp add a pinch or two of sugar.
- 7
When you have it tasting the way you like it, garnish with parsley/dill and enjoy!
