I made a Schwäbischen Kartoffelsalat with @Max_LaManna
A German Kartoffelsalat has to be schlonzig. What does that mean? It’s a sensory mark of approval that properly cooked potatoes have been mixed with the correct amount of hot stock at the right temperature so that they soak up all of the flavours without turning into mush. When used for food, schlonzig describes an ideal consistency for a creamy starchy dish like risotto… or a potato salad. It’s also what a Swabian grandma would use as an undebatable excuse when one questions her adding yet another tablespoon of vegetable oil.
