Grammy's German Potato Salad

This is a different potato salad for those who don't want a mayonnaise-based recipe. My family has enjoyed this for many years, and it is easy to adapt by adding more spices that suit your family.

Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons white sugar
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• 1 large onion, chopped
• ½ teaspoon dry mustard
• 8 white potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
• ¼ cup cider vinegar, divided

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until just tender, about 15 minutes; drain.

Step 2

Put potatoes into a large bowl; add onion and stir.

Step 3

Mix sugar, mustard, and salt together in a bowl. Stir just enough vinegar into the sugar mixture to form a paste; season with black pepper.

Step 4

Whisk remaining vinegar and vegetable oil together in a separate bowl until smooth; stream into bowl with the paste, whisking continually to incorporate. Pour the dressing over the potato and onion mixture.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let salad cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes.
