Peel and cut potatoes

Drain the potatoes, quench them, let them cool down a little and peel them lukewarm. Then cut into slices and place in a large bowl.

Chop onion and garlic

Thermomix® Setting

3 sec/Speed 5

Put 1 large onion and optionally 1 clove of garlic in the mixing bowl and chop for 3 sec./speed 5. Push down with the spatula.

Prepare vinaigrette

Thermomix® Setting

20 sec/Speed 4

Add the chopped onion and garlic together with 4 medium-sized pickled gherkins, 1 apple tart, 2 tsp mustard, medium-hot, 3 tsp sugar, 100 ml cucumber liquid, 50 ml white wine vinegar, 100 ml thistle oil or sunflower oil, some salt and pepper to the mixing bowl and mix for 20 sec./speed 4.

Layer and marinate salad

Peel the apple and cut into small pieces. Cut the cucumbers into slices. In a large bowl, alternate potato slices, cucumber and apple and add a few spoonfuls of the vinaigrette and some pepper and salt between the layers. In the end, there should be a little too much marinade in the salad. The salad should definitely steep for at least 3 - 4 hours, or even better overnight. During this time, the marinade is completely absorbed by the salad and the potatoes taste very juicy and do not become mushy. Then mix the salad well.
