This recipe comes from my grandmother Elli and was brought to our table every Christmas on Christmas Eve. It is still a tradition in many households in Germany to eat potato salad with hot sausages on December 24th. This Christmas salad is easy to prepare in advance, it is filling and simply tastes inimitable. Memories of Christmases of the past are awakened.
1.5 kilograms of potatoes, cut in strips
1/8-1/4 litre vegetable broth
4 herring fillets, in strips
4 large pickled gherkins, diced
4 eggs, boiled, diced

3-4 apples, in cubes
