Ingredients
500 grams red potatoes
5 grams chicken powder
15 grams salt
5 grams crushed red chili
250 grams spring onions, chopped
30 grams mustard paste
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup ketchup
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup vegetable oil
3 cups water
1 cup cornstarch
Directions
Peel the red potatoes and cut them into evenly sized pieces. Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a large pot, add the potatoes, and simmer for approximately 12-15 minutes until they are about 60% cooked (still slightly firm but softened).
In a medium bowl, combine the mustard paste, ketchup, and heavy cream, stirring until well blended and smooth. Set aside.
Drain the partially cooked potatoes thoroughly. In a separate bowl, toss the drained potatoes with the cornstarch, chicken powder, and salt until evenly coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the cornstarch-coated potatoes and fry, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes turn golden brown (approximately 8-10 minutes).
Pour the mustard cream sauce over the fried potatoes and gently toss to coat evenly. Stir in the chopped spring onions and crushed red chili, mixing until all ingredients are well combined. Serve warm.
Comments
German potato salad is dead simple at Charlotte grocers: potatoes, spring onions, and staples like mustard, mayo, and ketchup hit every major chain without a second stop. The ingredient list runs cheap—potatoes bulk the dish, and chicken powder, corn flour, and cream are budget additions—so you're feeding fourteen for roughly $12 to $15 total, or under $1.10 per serving. The stated 52 minutes assumes potatoes are already boiled; expect 75 minutes door-to-table if you start from raw, since boiling potatoes alone takes 25 to 30 minutes. This is genuinely family food, hands-off while potatoes cook, and it reheats beautifully the next day, but the long ingredient list and binding (cream and corn flour to thicken) means constant stirring once you mix, not a set-it-aside dish.
