Grilled German Potato Salad - Food Wishes 

Check out the recipe: www.allrecipes.com/Recipe/267828/Grilled-German-Potato-Salad/

Around 10 years ago, a girl laughed at me for googling grilled potato salad. WHO'S LAUGHING NOW, DANIELLE?

Acidic german potato salad and sauerkraut are two dishes that really shine when paired with something rich and savory.

Amen Chef John It is about time someone addressed the issue of undercooked potatoes in potato salad....nothing ruins a bbq for me quicker than hard potatoes hiding out in one of my favorite side dishes. Thank you!!!!

I'm from Germany and I've never seen a potato salad like this. But it looks very nice and tasty!

This is probably the unhealthiest salad I've ever seen. I love it.

Well done John, you did a good german salad! Never grilled my potatoes like this, especially when the salad has to be ready in time for the grilled goods - but we, as Germans, do the salad very similar! Greetings from overseas, keep up the good work. Very enjoyable to watch!

As a professional chef I have to say Chef John is the bees knees. His experience and knowledge of food science is engaging and entertaining. Love this channel!

_You are, after all, the culinary ballad, of your Grilled German Potato Salad!_

Is there a better way to start a vacation than with a new Chef John video? It's gonna be a good week! 🤓

You had me at potato ❤️✨

A small inn in the Black Forest served this dish when I lived in (then) West Germany. Best potato dish I've ever had.

My Amish grandmother made this when I was a child. Its still my favorite.

Chef john.... the name is enough to make me hungry 😃💗💗 Love you chef

every episode makes me wonder if there's a financial incentive to dig through your entire library and clip out every "You are the x of your y" and make the best compilation RU-vid's ever seen.

I've been eating this for a number of years but only started making it last year. So easy and such a big hit with everyone.

Thank you chef John. I have made it over and over every single time I have party. Everyone loves it so much!

this is common way to make potato salad in my region. love to see an american do this and you make it totally right. but we call it Speck-Kartoffelsalat or in your language " Bacon Potato Salad" looks same kind as dirty as it do if i or my dad made it, apriciate that ^^

I made this tonight for dinner, omg, a flavor explosion. this was so good. gonna take leftovers to work tomorrow and warm them up. definitely use wine vinegar, ordinary white has too much acidity

What could dislike any of Chef John's vids? He is pure awesome.

Lol @3:55 the devils salt ?

This is one of the best channels for recipes I've found!Thanks Chef John

Love Love Chef John ... and so does my hubby! Always simple with great taste!😘

My food wish is more risotto... I recently did one with prawns peas and sun dried tomato, instead of parmesan I used mascarpone....delicious!

Anything with potatoes is for me! Gotta love the Chef!!!!

When I was a kid, my Mom used to serve Hot German Potato Salad. (YES. Served hot!). Always loved it. Nice and tangy from the vinegar.

Your recipes never fail to make me crave them just from reading the title. I've tried several, and have fallen in love with cooking just for the amazing outcomes, that are almost guaranteed! Thank you so much! :)

In Southern Germany we just use potatoes, finely chopped onions, beef broth, vinegar, sunflower oil, salt, pepper, a little nutmeg and optionally chives for garnish. It is a very simple salad but quite delicious.

Excelente. Tratare de hacerla el fin de semana. Mil gracias.

I'm of German and Irish descent. Potatoes are my life blood.

i love that you’re just doing the recipe and it’s not sped up or cut so it looks like it’ll only be 2 steps and ends up being 25, also how specific and just in depth the tutorials are so there is no room for error. NO BULLSHIT THANK YOU SO MUCH

I'm from Germany and this would never ever be made like this. You left out a LOT. That being said this looks delicious and I will try it with grilled spuds. Of course I would add the rest of the ingredients, too. Looks awesome!

This is a fav! And I like how you used those left over coals to bring this dish a lil something more.💕💕

"Subtle smokiness from the potatoes"... and I just finished baking potatoes in my smoker along with some chicken. I bet they would have been delicious in this recipe.

This looks incredible.... Thank you for sharing it.

Served along side Roladen.... just WOW.❤️

I'm from Germany (Bavaria) and we have a lot of different recipies for potato salad. This one looks lovely! Have to try it :-)

“WHEN YOUR BACON GETS FOAMY, THAT’S HOW YOU KNOW IT’S DONE, HOMIE.” 😎

My German friend made something like this when we were in Grad School. It was a culinary life changing experience. I have looked for instructions for this way of making real German potatoes ever since!

That looks divine! Will try

Last weekend I attended a local German Food party. I used your recipe for Spietzle and it came out fantastic. Wished I'd found this recipe. I'd have made it as well. Nice job Chef!

That looks delicious.

That’s great how this salad can sit out in the sun and get better! Thanks Chef John

My mother used to make this when I was growing up. It was so good. My mouth is watering.

" Salads are healthy."

Great recipe chef john, my wife is german/austrian and this is very similar to her recipe. The red waxy potato salad gets a little old after a while when all anyone ever does to change it up is use either a mayo base or mustard base, but after a while it gets somewhat boring. I am from rural kentucky and i have no idea why we do not have bricks of bacon fond stored at the ft. Knox repository, you could probably exchange a brick of that for a 55 gallon drum of oil, this country never thinks outside the box, lol.

I would probably add caraway seed as well to the dressing. I absolutely LOVE the flavour with potatoes and onions. Thanks for this!!

Over here we basically have two schools. In Northern Germany you would get potato salad made from cooked and peeled potatoes, cooled down, than sliced and mixed with mayonnaise, onion cubes and chopped gherkins, salt, pepper,maybe a bit of mustard, depending on how spicy the mayonnaise is. Sometimes you add cooked and diced eggs or even cubed tomatoes. Chives are an option as well. Goes wonderful with fried fish in batter. In the south of Germany (and in Austria) you cook and peel potatoes, then slice them while they are still hot. You mix them with hot beef broth, vinegar, onions, mustard, salt, papper, sugar and chives. In some southern regions you would do it like you did, but with hot potatoes, adding hot broth. As they cool down from hot to warm, they will absorb more of the dressing. Cayenne, however, is very un-German. Love all your recipes, btw. Recently tried your Nashville fried chicken and it was so good ...

Hello foodie uncle.....nice grilled German Potato Salad..I love it so much!

Gut gemacht John

Sooo I am german as well and I lived my whole life in south germany.. And for the other confused germans here: Warm potatosalad with vinegar, onions and bacon is a thing here. It is not the most common way to eat it, which would be cold and without bacon(in the south!) , but it does exist and I personally love it!

looks scrumptious

I love this recipe, but I add boiled eggs (just the whites). So good!

PA Dutch similar but uses bacon drippings, cider vinegar and white sugar PLUS MUST have spoon of yellow mustard and finely chopped celery and onion Either way soooooo delicious ! Thanks John

Looks great. Can't wait to try this!! Also, I love this chef and his casual and fun demeanor!!

Ironically my cousin and I watch the same channel. He made this for our family get together today and it was amazing! Thanks Chef Jon!

Chef John... can you make some hush puppies? I have a hankering, but can't really get to Long John Silvers.

It's called cartofi taranesti in Romania and we add cooked peppers to it.

Yummy!! Love these delicious,fast and easy meals....thank you❣

Every recipe of yours I make is truly to die for. You are seriously the best!

Nice videos! I like how your cadence makes it seem like there's always something else coming up lol

FOOD TASTES GOOD

I grew up eating this, but it was always made with soggy boiled potatoes. The grilled potatoes are going to take this great dish to the next level! Thank you!! Also noticed the tomatoes which we had most meals in summer right on the plate with our other food. Ahhhh . . . I miss my Grandma . . . .

I'm drooling. My mom taught me how to make German potato salad, but we boil the potatoes. This looks like an excellent touch

You are after all the Christian Slater of how to cut your tater.

You are the Ashley Judd of your grilled salad spud.

I didn't even wait to watch the video before it got a thumbs up. Everything Chef John does is golden.

You’re just so good. Thanks very, very much! Cheers, Colin.

In Saarland we eat it like this. Lightly warm. Great

My Great Grandmother's recipe is very similar, except that she always added some celery seed to the dressing. You may want to try this as it gives it a little twang that goes well with the acidity of the vinegar.

Yum! Made this today. Sigh, brings back memories for me.....Thank you Chef John!

Looks fantastic

I'm German and I approve of this delicious recipe

#ChefJohnGotThatWagon

This really is something special when the family comes for a visit. I have never met anyone that does not like this dish!!

Being a chef myself and doing thousands of recipes looking, This recipe above is a great one technically... The amount of bacon is a personal taste. One could choose one of is own preference. As for the spuds being cooked on the BBQ, this is an option, as an oven baked ones or even boiled , cooled off before peeling can be much of a muchness as an end result... We could split hair without markedlly add or substact much..... Well done chef

Still waiting on that "fork dont lie" ASMR Chef John!

"the devil's salt" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This looks amazing

Chef John......you are the best!

I hate mayo so I avoid traditional potato salad like the plague so this is a delicious alternative!

As a german i can say: this is a potato salad!

the way chef john says skewer makes me so warm on the inside

I know what I'm making for my last day before my diet, that looks fantastic!

I gotta stop smoking weed and watching Food Wishes. SOOO HUNGRY!!

Pork fat rules!!

I usually can't stand potato salad, but this looks completetly fantastic!! I'll definately try this on the week end.. Thank you!

Goodness! I bet that tastes fantastic!

A shameless Koji Rub Chicken plug. Well done, Chef. We'll be waiting for you to perfect it.

I love how you say skewer. "Scure." Yummy.

I love German potato salad! Thanks Chef John !!!

The Captain Kirk of cooking channels, love your voice, and all your recipies.

''You only make that mistake once.'' Are you SURE about that?

Nicht die traditionelle Variante, sieht aber trotzdem interessant aus :)

Well you've got me hungry and it's 1.30am. Looks delicious. Thanks for sharing

I love German potato salad! One deli used to make it here years ago and haven’t seen it since. I’ve got to try it. Thanks! I’ve been missing this for 15 years! Lol

great recipie as always my moutch is watering right now. Although in Poland we skip vinegar and add some picles, som roasted red bell pepper would be also nice. Becouse every German invention is usualu perfcted by Polish people ;)

i was just about to say "well this is weird" but you didn't grill potato salad after all

Hm, close enough, haha! And greetings from Germany, the Rhineland-Palatinate region, where this dish is traditional. But I'd add some flour to the onion and bacon, then let it thicken in a bit of broth, and then add the vinegar, sugar and so on. It makes a very velvety marinade that penetrates the potatoes very well (and I swear I could lick the plate clean of that marinade!). That's what my great-grandmother taught me, and it's a killer potato salad. Also, she taught me never to mix it up with spoons because the slices break. I was taught to put the potato slices into a large bowl, pour the marinade over and let it sit for 15 minutes. Then take another large bowl and tilt the contents of the first one into it carefully, let sit for 10 minutes. Then repeat to the first bowl and let it marinate another 10 minutes.

I'm going to make this at the beach next week. Looks delicious!
