Potato Salad

[Andy in Germany]

I bought the wrong potato salad last week and my goodness it's vinegary. Can someone suggest a way to tone the taste down a bit? I keep trying to eat it, but I'm getting defeated.

I can't help you with the query, but, by Jupiter, I love Kartoffelnsalat 😋 with loads of Zwiebeln
How come you bought it instead of making it?
On second thoughts, maybe add a bit of balsamic vinegar, it is quite sweet, maybe it will mask the current taste.

I bought it because I don't generally have time to faff about making the stuff; actually, that's not true, but I have far more interesting things to do than faff about trying to get the mixture exactly right every week. Also I can get it from the Aldi near work which saves schlepping it back and forth.

Usually I get "Swabian" potato salad which is milder and has onions, but this time I must have picked up the wrong type. I've noticed before that food from northern Germany tends to be sharper than the south, and I've spent over half my life here; maybe I'm getting stuck in my ways.

I'll try the Balsamic vinegar.

I'd try adding diced beetroot. The sweetness should take the harshness out of the vinegar.

Mayo or crème fraiche.
