Talking of potatoes, what, exactly, is salzkartofle (sp?)?  When I was 
in Slovakia, it was on the German versions of all the menus, and I'm 
told it means "boiled potatoes".  But it wasn't.  It was slightly oily 
and seemed to have been infused with a subtle spiciness.

I suppose it could have been a bad translation from Slovak into German.
