Instructions

  1. Soak the matjes fillets for 1 hour, then pat dry. Peel jacket potatoes and eggs. Dice the matjes, potatoes, eggs, hunting sausage, apple and the pickled cucumber.
  2. For the mayonnaise, beat the egg yolks with mustard, salt and pepper, sugar and vinegar in a high mixing bowl with the hand mixer to a thick cream (if you beat longer, it will get really thick). Gradually beat in the oil drop by drop. Stir in the yogurt and season with salt, pepper and sugar.
  3. Mix with the diced salad ingredients and let steep for 2 hours.
  4. Homemade mayonnaise tastes much better than store-bought mayonnaise, be sure to try it.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
