Here comes a classic potato-cucumber salad from Austria. A recipe by the famous austrian-german cook Johann Lafer. You can serve it lukewarm or cold to meat, classic would be Wiener Schnitzel, or fish and seafood.
Ingredients
1,2 kg waxy/salad potatoes
1 cucumber, sliced
1 shallot, chopped
100g bacon, cubed
1 tbsp mustard
20g butter
80 ml white wine vinegar
200 ml chicken broth
8 tbsp sunflower oil
1 bunch chives, chopped
optional: pumpkinseed oil
Preparation
1. Cook or steam the potatoes in water for 20-30min
2. Meanwhile cook chopped shallot and bacon cubes in butter
3. Add vinegar, also add broth and let it reduce a bit on moderate heat for 5-10min
4. Finally add mustard
5. Peel cucumber and remove the inner core with a teaspoon
6. When the potatoes are ready peel them and slice thinly(!) when they are still hot. Put in a salad bowl and also add cucumber slices
7. Add the warm broth and let it rest for 30min
8. Add salt&pepper and sunflower oil. Combine everything.
9.Also add chives and if you have drizzle with a bit pumpkinseed oil
10. Finally some additional chives on top. ENJOY
P.S. the liquid was a bit too much in this original recipe, so I recommend 1,2 kg potatoes (me 1kg) and maybe 1,5kg would work too. Anyway despite too much liquid; very tasty
