Ingredients
- 3 pounds Yukon Gold or Red skin potatoes cut into 1/4-inch thick disks
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 4 teaspoons spicy brown mustard
- ½ red onion diced
- 1 teaspoon smoked salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ cup water use the water from boiling the potatoes
- Fresh chopped parsley or chives to garnish
Instructions
- To Boil the Potatoes:
- Place the potatoes in a medium pot and cover with a couple of inches of water. Cover, bring to a boil, and reduce to simmer. Simmer until knife-glide tender, about 6-8 minutes. Because the potatoes are thinly sliced, keep an eye on them – it won’t take them long to be done.
- To make the Healthy Vegan German Potato Salad:
- While the potatoes simmer, prepare the other ingredients for the salad. In a large bowl, combine the cider vinegar, spicy brown mustard, red onion, smoked salt, and black pepper. Toss well to combine. After the potatoes have simmered for a few minutes (and have started to release some of their starches), portion out ¼ cup of the water. Add this to the bowl with the dressing ingredients.
- When the potatoes are done simmering, remove from the heat, and drain well. Immediately add them to the bowl with the dressing ingredients. Toss well to combine. Taste to adjust seasoning.
- Enjoy immediately, while still warm.
