German potato salad
« Reply #-1 on: September 29, 2013, 11:23:40 PM »
We love the clean acid flavor balancing the smoky, fatty pork in German potato salad.  We went to an Oktoberfest celebration yesterday and had this treat - we've not made it in a long time, so today it is.
Rendering the bacon - 1 pound, with fat drained except for a few tablespoons.  Added half a stick of butter.
About 10 Russets were diced, then boiled to al dente, then drained - the diced bacon and fat were added, then the mixture carefully folded.  Also caramelized a large onion, which was added to the mixture.  Added about a cup +/- until the acid was just right.  For variety, add a spoon of sour cream when plating for variety - sometimes we like the creaminess that dairy adds (that is also why we used butter)

Thanks David!  Quite often we forget some of the good food that we really enjoy until we are exposed to it again - a sign of old age I guess!

Realizing this, my sweetie and I talked about making two of our other favorites, New England clam chowder (made savory with sour cream to give it an extra zip), and beef stroganoff that we serve with sour cream and mayonnaise fortified mashed potatoes.

Both sound great - but it has been years since I've had beef stroganoff. Your thoughts sound excellent. Please share the recipe when you make it? It is getting to that time of year. Thanks!

Definitely will share - although we members of the forum cannot often visit with one another in person, I feel that sharing experiences and photos is second best.  When I look at the photos of all the delicious food posted by members, I can almost taste the goodness, and appreciate seeing everyone's setups and equipment.  Plus the photos of people enjoying the food are always great, like at the recent gathering!
