1. Potato Salad as a Starter with crispy Porcini Mushroom Strudel Dough
I love porcini mushrooms, chanterelles, mushrooms “Schwammerl” in general. Please remember to clean the mushrooms! In the cooking school contribution mushrooms wash and clean I show you the proven and professional method!
Strudel dough mushroom pocket you can prepare with various “Schwammerl” mushrooms!
2. Styrian potato salad, traditionally called “Erdäpfelsalat”, prepared by yourself
The potato salad is regionally assigned to Styria/Austria due to the preparation and the contained seed oil. I can’t remember that we in Bavaria ever had a pumpkin seed oil in our house. Today a good pumpkin seed oil can be found almost everywhere, even in Bavaria. Kernel oil tastes delicious and offers a lot of good oleic acids, which do body and soul good! I am a fan of the pumpkin seed oil, it convinces me in the taste. My good friend Christine comes from Styria and there are always exciting potato salad discussions to optimize and improve. The steirische Erdäpfelsalat needs red onions, lamb’s lettuce, a hearty marinade and a good pumpkin seed oil as finish.3. The optimal Potato Variety for Potato Salad “Erdäpfelsalat”
For the potato salad with lamb’s lettuce “Vogerlsalat” and seed oil you need shape-retaining, waxy (also fat cooking varieties) or predominantly waxy potato varieties such as: Agria, Bamberger Croissants, Cilena, Ditta, Hansa, Linda, Marabel, Nicola, Sieglinde or Selma.With these waxy potatoes you will succeed your “Erdäpfel-Vogerlsalat” outstanding.
4. Preparing Potato Salad quickly and easily
Anyone who often looks at recipes in my blog knows my incentive to simplify the preparation of dishes. There are two ideas for preparing potato salad:4.1 Prepare Potato Salad classic Method
You can cook the potatoes with peel in salted water, peel them and make potato salad from them.4.2 Prepare Potato Salad fast Method
If you want it to go fast, peel the potatoes raw, cut them into slices, boil the potato slices directly into vegetable broth. This saves you 2/3 of the time and the potato salad gets on your plate faster!
5. How to prepare “Erdäpfel-Vogerlsalat”
Lamb’s lettuce or Vogerlsalat must always be prepared with particular care and devotion. Otherwise the beautiful flowers will break. The quick guide:- Remove the roots of lamb’s lettuce, carefully wash lettuce several times in plenty of cold water
- Carefully weigh it
- Dry it on a cloth or kitchen paper
6. Erdäpfelsalat and Onions, please follow my Instructions!
With the onions in the potato salad, please be careful. The onions ferment quickly and the potato salad can no longer be eaten. Here are my tips for processing onions in potato salad:- Cut the onions fresh just before serving and fold them into the potato salad just before serving. Potato salad should be eaten as soon as possible, the potato salad with onions is only limited, also stored in a cool place, stable.
- Blanch the onion cubes briefly, then mix into the salad, cooled down. This makes the onion cubes more durable and the potato salad can be kept chilled for about one day.
- Marinate the onion cubes in some vinegar and sugar for at least 10 minutes and then mix in without the marinade. Sugar and vinegar make the onion cubes long-lasting, the potato salad can be kept refrigerated for one day.

Equipment
Instruction
Erdäpfel-Vogerlsalat
Peel the washed potatoes, then separate the potatoes into 3 mm slices, cook them in a pot with the vegetable stock until soft. The potato slices should be covered with liquid when cooking, if necessary please add water. Attention, soft does not mean disintegrate!
At the end of the cooking time, add the finely diced onion to the potatoes and cook briefly. I have described the onion theme in the article. This variant is practical and fulfils its purpose, the onions cook short and become somewhat more durable, the potato salad does not ferment so fast. Pour off the vegetable stock after a few minutes and place the cooked potato slices and onions in a bowl.
Add the sunflower oil, salt, pepper, sugar and vinegar to the potatoes and season the potato salad to taste and mix well.
Clean the lamb’s lettuce and water well several times, then dry. Please follow the instructions for washing lamb’s lettuce in the article. The lamb’s lettuce is not lifted under the potato salad until shortly before serving.
Mushroom-Tascherl with Strudel Dough
Clean, finely chop and chop the mushrooms, fry at high temperature in a pan with the butter. Season with salt, pepper, nutmeg, parsley and a little lemon dust. I always grate the lemon dust finely, that is the guarantee for good taste formation, apart from that there are no lemon pieces noticeable in the mushroom mass!
Spread out the studel dough sheets, place the cooled mushroom mixture in portions (1 teaspoon) on the strudel dough sheet. Spread the remaining strudel dough areas with whisked egg or starch water and place the second strudel dough sheet on top. Cut out the mushroom pocket or shape it with a cookie cutter. Please always process the finished strudel dough quite quickly. Unpack and process immediately, the dough dries out quickly!
Finale and Presentation
Heat the coconut fat to 170°C in a pot or deep fryer. Season potato salad to taste with salt and pepper. The potato salad swallows a lot of salt and changes its taste every 10 minutes. Try it yourself and notice how the taste changes. Mix potato salad with 2/3 of the Vogerlsalat and arrange. Season the cream fraiche with lemon juice, salt and pepper and place on the plate. Put the cress into the cream Fraiche Dipp. Use the rest of the bog salad to decorate the potato salad. Cut radishes into fine strips and decorate with them. Fry the mushroom pockets for about 2 minutes until crispy, then arrange them on the plate and serve quickly.
