Bavarian hot potato salad is a great mixture of frankfurters, boiled potatoes, green beans and gherkins. Ready in just 15 minutes this Bavarian twist on a classic potato salad is easy to make and certainly brings a new flavour to your meal times. We love serving this as a side dish in a buffet or just as a mid-week summer dinner. Bavarian potato salad can be kept in the fridge for a couple of days so try it as a packed lunch too.
