Steps to make German Kartoffelsalat (German potato salad):
  1. Wash the potatoes and drain excess water in a colander. Cut the potatoes in half and set aside.

  3. To test if potatoes are cooked, use a pointed knife and poke a potato with the tip. If it goes in and slides out easily, the potatoes are ready. Turn off the heat and drain potatoes in a colander. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and set aside to let them cool down.
  4. Meanwhile, finely slice the onion and place into a mixing bowl. Then finely slice the cornichons and transfer to the same bowl.
  5. Once the potatoes have cooled down, add to the mixing bowl with the onions and cornichons and mix together.
  6. Now add mayonnaise and a dollop of mustard (I used Thomy mustard). Stir together. Add white ground pepper and salt to taste and gently incorporate together.
  7. Lastly, add the white wine vinegar. Mix well and taste the potato salad. Adjust taste if needed (add more mayo, salt or white pepper, depending on preference). Transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with finely cut chives (if adding).
