Ingredients

5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes

0.7 oz yellow onion, diced

7 eggs

4 oz jarred German Wiener or Vienna sausages, sliced

7 oz pickles, such as Hengstenberg Crunchy Gherkins

2 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth

1 cup pickle juice

3 tbsp white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar

1 tsp Dijon mustard

0.5 tsp white sugar, to taste

salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 cup mayonnaise

1 tbsp chopped parsley, optional for garnish

sliced pickles, optional for garnish

Directions

Wash and peel the potatoes; cut them into 1/4-inch slices. Place in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook on medium heat until the potatoes are tender (about 20-30 minutes). Drain, let cool, then refrigerate until ready to assemble the salad.

In a pot of boiling water, gently add the cold eggs. Cook for 7 minutes and 22 seconds, then drain. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Peel the eggs once cooled, dice 5 of them, and cut the remaining 2 into wedges for garnish; set aside.

Mix diced onion with sliced potatoes in a large bowl.

Combine Wiener sausages and pickles in another bowl.

In a saucepan, combine broth, pickle juice, vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt, pepper, and bring to a boil. Let it cool slightly before pouring over the potato-onion mixture. Allow it to marinate for 10 minutes. Fold in mayonnaise, then stir in diced egg and pickle mixture.

Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Garnish with egg wedges, pickle slices, and parsley before serving.
