German-inspired potato salad with sausage & sauerkraut
Lucas Hollweg roasts the spuds first, which really takes this potato salad to the next level. The sweet-sharp dressing is made with mustard and oil rather than the traditional mayonnaise, and soaks deliciously into the potatoes. An amazing gluten free, German-inspired dinner, perfect for family gatherings.

Ingredients
- 3 tbsp sunflower oil
- 1½kg Maris Piper potatoes, peeled and cut into 1.5cm cubes
- 1 bulb/s garlic, halved
- 4 sprig/s thyme
- ½ tsp fine salt
- 2 x 200g packs Unearthed Bavarian Frankfurters, to serve
- 4 tbsp sauerkraut, to serve
Dressing
- 1 red onion, finely sliced
- 75ml white wine vinegar
- 4 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp fine salt
- 2 tsp caster sugar
- 2 tbsp nonpareille capers
- 2 spears Mrs Elswood Dill Speared Gherkins, finely chopped
- 125ml sunflower oil
- ½ x 20g pack dill, finely chopped
- ½ x 25g pack flat leaf parsley, leaves finely chopped
Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Pour the oil into a large roasting tin and put in the oven until hot (5-10 minutes). Add the potatoes, garlic, thyme and salt to the tin and carefully toss together. Roast for 50 minutes-1 hour, turning the potatoes occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
Meanwhile, make the dressing. Put the onion in a large bowl with the vinegar, mustard, salt and sugar. Stir in the capers and chopped gherkin spears, then use a balloon whisk to gradually whisk in the sunflower oil. Stir in the chopped herbs and set aside.
When the potatoes are cooked, remove (and discard) the thyme stalks and garlic, then tip the potato cubes into the bowl of dressing and mix. Leave to stand for 20 minutes. While the potatoes are resting, cook the Frankfurters according to pack instructions, then serve alongside the potatoes with some sauerkraut on the side.
And to drink...
Franziskaner Hefe Weissbier is a fruity, spiced German wheat beer and makes a brilliant match.
