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

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

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!!!!

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

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 ^^

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

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!

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!

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

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

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

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

You had me at potato ❤️✨

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

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.

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

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 KZfaq's ever seen.

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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

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 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.

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!

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

Lol @3:55 the devils salt ?

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

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!

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

"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.

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!

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

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 ...

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

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

Chef John's knifework is inspiring. So good.

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

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

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

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.

Love well done German potato salad. My mom always added too much vinegar. My best friend's mom added sour cream and it was delicious!!

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

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

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! :)

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

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

" Salads are healthy."

The most entertaining cooking show in the 🌍

I am from Poland when I was small we use to add potatoes under fire side and they were ready after we finished grilling other stuff. I love it it was my favourite as child

Gut gemacht John

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

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

That looks good. I just had a laugh at my reactive responses - 'but that's not how you.....you missed the... you should do...'. Haha. I set that aside and will try both of your potato salads - classic American and German grilled. My German granny's family could not make a mixed dressing, but would layer the hot potatoes with the separate ingredients: chopped egg, crisp warm bacon, translucent onion, white wine vinegar, a neutral oil, plenty of S&P, and then let the whole salad bathe in the dressings for 24 hours or overnight, upturning the container every few hours. We always have it for Christmas, regardless of whether it's a hot roast dinner or a cold one. Every single member of my family has at some point stolen to the fridge in the dark hours and had a few illicit bites of the potato salad. Some of us (I am not admitting to it) have even had too many bites, and then thought 'Oh well they'll notice that, I'm going to be told off anyway' - then gone ahead and eaten the lot. Much shouting on Christmas morning about WHO ATE THE POTATO SALAD. Now the cook hides it.

I'm German and I approve of this delicious recipe

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

My first food memory is my grandfathers mashed potato salad. Grandma was a good cook, but the potato salad was my grandpa's specialty. He always made the potato salad. He would make it while grandma was transferring everything to the dining room table, it was the last thing placed on the table so it was still warm. If there was any left over it would go in the fridge for the next day to be served cold. But honestly, I don't think I ever remember any being left over. I still make it from time to time, and I have some potatoes sitting in my pantry that I need to cook. I think I might have to make Grandpa's potato salad soon.

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

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.

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

I love to grill/smoke potatoes...sometimes I throw them directly on the hot ashes to char them and then eat the whole thing...charred potato skins are yummy!! Love German potato salad and will give this recipe a try...thanks Chef John!

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

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

You are the Ashley Judd of your grilled salad spud.

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

This is almost my grandmothers exact recipe, she was German. Only difference was that she made a roux out of the bacon fat and onions and then added water to make a gravy. When she first poured it over the potatoes it almost looks like soup. Let it sit for 30 minutes or more and the potatoes were completely absorbed all the gravy. Brings me back to my childhood.

#ChefJohnGotThatWagon

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

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

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

FOOD TASTES GOOD

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

Chef John. I've been deployed with the US Army to Afghanistan several times. I fell in love with some of the culture, esp. the food. Kabuli Pulao or Qabli Palaw. I'd like to see this on your show. I watch every video you make religiously.

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

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

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!

I don't eat a lot of potatoes however this is my favorite potato dish. My Amish grandmother used to make this.

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 ;)

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

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

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

"the devil's salt" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

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

I often make this same(if not just damn similar!) recipe but towards the simmer at the end I’ll add a tablespoon or two of whole grain mustard and it is soooooo good!!!

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

That looks delicious.

Pork fat rules!!

This reminds me of a recent slow cooker experiment that turned out really well. Small potatoes, thick sliced sweet onions, topped with over a pound of thick cut bacon that I generously coated with chipotle powder. It's like German potato salad with a kick and the added bonus of liquid bacon fat to sop up with some great bread.

NEVER had german potato salad. GRILLED, A MUST try!!!!! Thanks!!!!

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

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

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

Good one, Chef John! We love German potato salad, but can't wait to try this one. God bless! Jim & Marsha - Titusville, PA

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

Just call it potato salad...there is a war on how potato salad should be made.. i personally dont care, i like north and south versions...the best one is still made by my grandma
