Treat your ingredients with care...
- Potatoes — Make sure to boil the potatoes until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooking can result in mushy potato salad.
- Viennese sausages — Pan-fry the sausages over medium heat to ensure they are cooked evenly and develop a golden brown crust.
Tips & Tricks
- For added flavor, you can grill the sausages instead of pan-frying them.
- If you prefer a tangier potato salad, increase the amount of white wine vinegar.
- Customize the potato salad by adding diced pickles or capers for a briny twist.
- Serve the dish with a side of sauerkraut for a traditional Austrian touch.
- Leftover potato salad can be refrigerated and enjoyed the next day as a tasty side dish.
Serving advice
Serve the Viennese Sausages with Potato Salad hot, allowing the flavors to meld together. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley or chives for a fresh and vibrant touch.
Presentation advice
Arrange the sausages on a platter and spoon the creamy potato salad alongside. For an elegant presentation, drizzle a little extra dressing over the sausages and garnish with a sprig of fresh herbs.
