Christmas dinner is saved! Together with Christian Oblak from Gasthaus on Queen, every Tuesday up until Christmas, we will be presenting a course from his Christmas menu. With helpful tricks and insider tips from the Austrian chef. Today: potato salad.


Instructions:

1kg potato (Desiree, Russet)

300ml beef stock (or boil water with stock cube)

70ml apple cider vinegar

70g onion, finely chopped

70ml vegetable oil, your choice

salt, pepper

15g caraway seeds

15g garlic, finely chopped

30g mustard of your choice


Boil the potatoes in their skins, peel and slice to a thickness of approx. 4mm.
Bring the broth with the spices to the boil (without the oil!). Add the onion and garlic for the last minute, then pour over the potatoes while still warm. Mix with your hands lightly mashing the potatoes.
Season to taste and leave to rest. After 1 hour, add the oil and season to taste.

Tip: In the podcast, Christian Oblak reveals whether it is ok to make potato salad with mayonnaise.
