I am from Bavaria, on the southern tip of Starnberger See (Seeshaupt). My other Grandmother is from Riegsee, near Murnau. We love our potato salad as it is a staple in our family. I just wanted to reply to this recipe because we never have heard of using cucumbers in potato salad. Where’d they get this idea? There is a separate version of gurkinsalat (cucumber salad), which is marinated in its juices with vinegar. It’s good too, but the kartofelsalat is the BEST!

I am American, but my husband is from Bavaria, near Abensberg. This recipe is RIGHT ON, exactly. Except he slices, not dices, the cucumbers. The best potato salad I’ve ever had in my life. And I’ve had lots.

My mother is from the Bayern region of Germany and I’ve never had potato salad prepared as is above. I would like to submit our recipe for Bavarian Potato Salad if possible.
