Answer 3

if it calls for jalapenos and cilantro it's certainly not german... *lol* i'm german, so here goes:

1 pound small, firm potatoes
2 medium sized onions
4 gherkins
chicken stock
pickle juice
salt
pepper
mayonnaise

boil the potatoes in their skins, peel them and cover them with chicken stock. chill the potatoes in the stock till cold. dice the onions, slice the gherkins. discard the stock, slice the potatoes. put everything into a salad bowl and blend with a dash of pickle juice from the gherkin jar, salt, freshly ground black pepper and mayonnaise. the chicken stock is a matter of personal taste. my grandma used it, my mom doesn't, both made/ make nice spud salad. at home we'd eat that with frankfurters or fish. if you rermember (or prefer) it sweet, add a pinch of sugar with all the other seasonings.

Potato Salad Recipe: German-Style Potato Salad With Bacon And Balsamic Vinegar

2 pounds red OR new potatoes, boiled, peeled, if desired and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1/4 cup balsamic OR cider vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt OR 1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 to 5 thick slices (about 4 ounces) slab bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch strips
1 medium onion, cut into medium dice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup beef broth
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley

Layer warm potato slices in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons vinegar, seasoning with salt and pepper as you go. Fry bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat until bacon is brown and crisp and fat is rendered, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to potatoes. Add onion to bacon drippings. Saute until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add up to 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to yield 2 tablespoons unabsorbed fat. (If bacon is fairly lean, onion will absorb most of drippings.) Add beef broth and bring to a boil; add remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar. Pour broth-onion mixture over potatoes. Add parsley; toss gently to coat. Adjust seasonings; serve warm or at room temperature.

Makes 6 servings.
