Aunt Lou here. Confession time. I am not a potato salad or pasta salad person. So when I saw that this recipe was called a potato salad, I almost skipped over it. Then I saw the picture on the next page, and it looked delicious!

German Potato Salad

I am SO glad I gave this recipe a try! It is so yummy! Once you read the ingredient list, you will know why!

Now this isn’t a dump and go recipe, but trust me, it is worth the prep work! It doesn’t take too long if you multi-task. You can start your bacon frying and then peel, cube and put your potatoes on to boil. (Just don’t forget your bacon and burn it!)

Here’s a tip for making chopping onions a cinch! Cut the end of your onion off. Then take your knife and cut a grid pattern down about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way down your onion. Next you take your onion and turn it on it’s side and start slicing! Instant chopped onions! Woohoo!

    How do I measure a cup of potatoes.?? Do you have potatoes in the USA that you can pour?

    Keen to make this. I’ll be making it tomorrow. But I’ll have to take a guess at the measurement of potatoes as I don’t know how to put a potato.

      Hi Galen!

      Peel and cube your potatoes one at a time. Place the potato cubes in a measuring cup until you have 4 cups of cubed potatoes. Hope that helps!

    We made this for my son’s German class. They loved it! I used red skins and just warmed it up in the crockpot vs. 4 hrs of additional cooking.
    It was perfect!!!

    Cream soup ruins dish taste profile as German Potato Salad, Stick to a traditional German Potato Salad recipe if that’s the flavor you want; it really is delicious potato side dish.

    But if your potatoes are already cooked and then 4 hours in crock pot, won’t this be mushy?

      Hi Pete!

      Ours weren’t mushy, but we did use russet potatoes, so they are a harder potato than others. Hope that helps!

How do you keep potatoes from getting mushy in a crock pot? ›

Cut Potatoes Properly: Cut the potatoes into larger chunks rather than small pieces. This can help them retain their shape and texture better during the long cooking process. Adjust Liquid Amount: Potatoes release moisture as they cook, so be cautious with the amount of liquid added to the crockpot.

Why are my potatoes still hard after cooking in the crockpot? ›

Insufficient Liquid: If there wasn't enough liquid in the crockpot, it could have caused uneven cooking. Potatoes need to be fully submerged in liquid to cook evenly. Old Potatoes: Very old or stored potatoes can become starchy and may not soften as well during cooking. It's best to use fresh, firm potatoes.

Why don't you peel potatoes for potato salad? ›

There's no reason at all, so my advice is to leave the skins on. The skin on a potato adds a nice texture and flavor to the potato salad and it's also the healthiest part.

How to keep potatoes from falling apart when making potato salad? ›

Taste of Home Deputy Food Editor James Schend suggests adding a tablespoon or two of apple cider vinegar to the water before it comes to a simmer, which will help create a “crust” on the potatoes. This way, they'll be less likely to fall apart.

Can you cut potatoes ahead of time for crock pot? ›

If you're here, you'll probably be glad to know that yes, you can peel and cut potatoes the day before you plan to serve them — and that it's super easy! All you have to do is submerge the bare potato pieces in water and refrigerate (more on that later).

How long does it take for cut potatoes to get soft? ›

Peeled, cubed potatoes cut into small, one-inch pieces should cook in 10 to 12 minutes, once the water reaches a boil. Larger pieces (about 2 inches across) may need longer, around 15 minutes. Medium whole potatoes should boil 20 minutes before they'll be tender.

When should you add potatoes to a crock pot roast? ›

Therefore, I am a firm believer in tying the meat (I use boneless chuck roast) and searing it before braising it. You can go to the Epicurious website to view a video tutorial on how to tie a roast. The potatoes and carrots should only be added during the last 45 minutes of cooking so they don't overcook.

Can potatoes overcook in a crockpot? ›

One caveat to roasting potatoes in the slow cooker: the slow cooker uses steam, rather than the heating element of a conventional oven, to cook your tubers. If overcooked, the potato can turn gummy from all the moisture around it, so it's best not to keep them in the "warm" setting once they're fully done.
