About Kartoffel-salat
Kartoffel-Salat, or German potato salad, is a traditional dish originating from Germany, known for its regional variations across the country. Typically made with boiled potatoes, onions, vinegar, and oil, it may include mustard, bacon, or herbs depending on the recipe. Unlike its creamy American counterpart, Kartoffel-Salat has a vinegar-based dressing, making it lighter in texture and flavor. Potatoes are nutrient-dense, providing a good source of carbohydrates for energy, alongside small amounts of protein and fiber. They also contain essential minerals like iron and calcium, and vitamins such as vitamin C, which supports immune health. On average, a serving contains approximately 75 calories per 100 grams, making it a relatively healthy side dish when prepared in moderation with minimal added fats.
Health Benefits

- Provides energy through complex carbohydrates (10 g per serving).
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
