Austrian potato salad
Austrian potato salad is a classic dish of Viennese cuisine. Made from boiled potatoes, onions, broth, vinegar and vegetable oil. Distinctive feature — delicate creamy texture without using mayonnaise. The potatoes should be slightly warm to better absorb the dressing. Mustard and fresh herbs are often added. Served as a side dish for Wiener schnitzel or as a standalone dish.
