Swabian potato salad

by | Nov 17, 2023 | Vegetable dishes

The presence of Swabians as a minority has influenced the culinary landscape in certain Hungarian regions. The Swabians, or svábok in Hungarian, settled in Hungary centuries ago. Their culinary traditions, including dishes like Swabian potato salad, have become part of the diverse tapestry of Hungarian gastronomy, that has evolved over centuries through cultural interactions and migrations.

Swabian potato salad is known for its distinct flavors, typically featuring a tangy and slightly sweet taste, achieved through the use of a warm broth and a vinegar-based dressing. The salad is usually accompanied by onions, sometimes cucumbers or gherkins, creating a hearty and flavorful side dish.

Hungarian cottage cheese

This is what Hungarian túró looks like

You often ask me what kind of cottage cheese (or curd cheese or farmer's cheese - call it what you want) I use in the recipes. In Hungary the store-bought cottage cheese is dry and crumbly as you can see in the picture. So if a recipe calls for túró, I mean this type. If you can't obtain túró, you can try to make your own from whole milk. Click on the link below.

Metric system vs cup

In Hungary metric units are in use, all the recipes on this website are based on this system, so a kitchen scale is necessary. Since I’m not familiar with cup as a measurement unit, I convert grams to cups by using an online converter. The values in brackets, therefore, are only approximate volumes, so, please, double-check them before you start cooking.
