Swabian Potato Salad with Broth, Cucumber and Radish
Potato salad without mayonnaise: warm potatoes drink up broth, vinegar and mustard, with a splash of oil to follow. Cucumber and radish add the crunch the original lacks.
Why this dish is good for you
Without mayonnaise this salad sits at about 7 g of fat per serving instead of the 20 to 25 g a mayonnaise version brings - and the one oil used is canola, with a good share of omega-3. Potatoes that cool down form resistant starch, which behaves like a fibre in the large intestine.
Ingredients
- Waxy potatoes(better cooked the day before, but it must be dressed warm)900 g
- Vegetable broth(hot)250 g
- Onion(very finely diced)100 g
- Apple cider vinegar40 g
- Mustard(medium-hot)15 g
- Canola oil40 g
- Cucumber(thinly sliced)200 g
- Radishes(sliced)100 g
- Chives(cut into rings)20 g
- Salt5 g
- Black Pepper1 g
Method
- 1
Boil the potatoes in their skins until tender, rinse briefly and peel while still hot.
- 2
Slice them into a large bowl - while warm they soak up the broth.
- 3
Heat the broth, let the onion steep in it for a minute, then stir in vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper.
- 4
Pour the hot broth over the potatoes and fold in gently. Leave for twenty minutes, turning once.
- 5
Only now mix in the canola oil. The other way round, the fat coats the slices and the broth can no longer get in.
- 6
Fold in cucumber, radishes and chives just before serving so they stay crisp.
🥔 Warum das Öl zuletzt kommt
Starch takes up water but not fat. Add oil and broth together and every slice gets a film of fat while the broth stays in the bottom of the bowl. Broth first, then oil - that is the whole difference between a potato salad that has drunk and one that has not.
