German Potato Salad Recipe

German Potato Salad Recipe

With a zesty twist, this hearty and warm German potato salad is the epitome of comfort! It is the ideal accompaniment to any home-cooked meal or backyard barbecue because it is made with soft potatoes, crispy bacon, and a zesty Dijon-vinegar dressing. You won't return to mayo-based versions after trying it warm, I promise!

Ingredients

• 2 pounds waxy potatoes, peeled & chunked
• 1/2 cup diced bacon
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp sugar
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (garnish)

Directions

1. To begin, boil the chunked, peeled potatoes in salted water for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. After draining, allow them to cool slightly.
2. Crisp up diced bacon in a skillet while those are boiling. Keep the delicious bacon drippings in the pan and set it aside.
3. In the drippings, sauté chopped onions until fragrant and golden.
4. To make a punchy dressing, combine apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
5. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and onions in a bowl and toss to coat.
6. Before serving, fold in that crispy bacon, adjust the seasoning if necessary, and sprinkle chopped parsley on top.
