Barbecues aren’t just about grilling. They’re also about the delicious sides that go along with the main course. When we asked our Facebook fans about their favorite foods to eat at a barbecue, potato salad was got 5,367 votes — second only to Grilled Steak!
It even beat out my favorite, s’mores, but that’s a whole different story!
Of course you could go out to your local market and buy potato salad for your next backyard barbecue, but it’s so easy to make and then customize that you might as well try home-made, right?
Potato Salad’s Beginnings
You might assume that potato salad’s an All-American invention, but like so many of our “classics”, it came to us following a circuitous path.
Originally grown in South America, potatoes were first introduced in Europe by Spanish explorers somewhere around the 16th century. After that, many European countries started using them in their cuisine, with ingredients dependent on local custom. Then, as European settlers came to America, they brought their own versions of the simple, humble dish.
One of the first recipes ever mentioned comes from 1597 and includes prunes, wine, oil and vinegar. Cold potato salads evolved from British and French recipes while warm ones followed the German preference for hot vinegar and bacon dressings served over vegetables.
German Potato Salad
German Potato Salad
What we think of as potato salad may have originated in Germany, where they used a dressing with a “vinegar” bite, like sauerkraut. Some versions featured a little coarse mustard and others cut the sour with a little sugar. Most added some kind of meat like bacon. One of the biggest differences between German potato salad and others is that it is still usually served warm, not cold.
By the time potato salad traveled to France, the French palate demanded a full-scale vinaigrette. Unlike German potato salad, its French cousin contains potatoes and other vegetables in a light vinaigrette, with Dijon mustard and sweet tarragon.
Once established on our shores, makers of potato salad typically used mayoinase as the dressing base, not vinegar. Nowadays, potato salad is served as a side dish from Syria to Brazil and, of course, at nearly every backyard summer party here in the United States. Learn more about potato salad’s history.
German Recipes
I’ve grouped these into four — German, French, American, and ones you may not have seen yet. Of course, one of the best things about potato salad, in my opinion, is that you can modify recipes to suit your taste. After all, no one says you can’t use ingredients from different recipes to make something unique.
Here are three German classics, all served warm.
German Potato Salad Recipe
Potato salad is a dish made from boiled potatoes that comes in many versions in different regions of the world. Though called a salad, it is generally a side dish, as it usually accompanies the main course.
Potato salad is often served with barbecue, roasts, hot dogs, fried chicken, hamburgers and cold sandwiches. It is generally considered casual fare, and as such is typically served at picnics, outdoor barbecues, and other casual meals and events.
It is a popular menu choice of cooks preparing food for a large number of people, because it is easily made in large quantities, it can be prepared in advance and refrigerated until needed, and requires inexpensive ingredients.

Germany
German "Kartoffelsalat" is a popular variation that is generally prepared with vinegar, potatoes, oil, vegetable broth, bacon bits, parsley, red onion and topped with chive and served warm. This style of potato salad is usually found in Southern Germany. Potato salad from northern Germany is generally made with mayonnaise and quite similar to its U.S. counterpart. Potato salad and sausages (like Bratwurst, Weisswurst, Bockwurst or Wiener) is a popular German dish for Christmas Eve.[1][2]
Italy
A version of potato salad popular in Latium is boiled potatoes dressed with olive oil, vinegar, finely minced parsley and garlic, hot chili peppers and salt. In Sicily, potato salad is made with string beans and red onion, dressed with olive oil and vinegar.[3][4]
United States
Although potato salad is enjoyed any time of year in the United States, it is commonly associated with summer and picnics. White and/or red potatoes are commonly used; it is customary to leave a bit of the skin on red potatoes—especially when Americans make it German-style.
Basic ingredients for traditional American potato salad include: cubed, boiled potatoes (typically russet potatoes), mayonnaise or a mayonnaise-like substitute such as yogurt or sour cream, yellow mustard and/or mustard powder (dry mustard), black pepper, salt, celery seed, dry dill, chopped pickles (pickled cucumber), chives, finely-chopped red or white onion, chopped green or red bell pepper, thinly-sliced/finely-chopped celery and sometimes chopped hard-boiled egg whites (usually one egg per batch of salad). Vegetable ingredients (not including the potatoes) are incorporated raw and never cooked. The salad is often topped with paprika and chives, and generally served cold or room temperature.[5][6][7]
