 German Potato Salad


German Potato Salad

This classic German Potato Salad is a tangy, savory dish made with tender potatoes, crispy bacon, and a warm vinaigrette flavored with vinegar, mustard, and onions. It's the perfect side dish for barbecues, picnics, or any hearty meal!

Ingredients

(Serves 4-6)

  • 2 pounds small red or Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 6 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Cook the Potatoes

  • Wash the potatoes and place them in a large pot. Cover with cold, salted water.
  • Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Drain and let cool slightly, then slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch rounds or bite-sized pieces.

2. Cook the Bacon

  • In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 8 minutes.
  • Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set it aside, leaving the rendered bacon fat in the skillet.

3. Prepare the Dressing

  • In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add the diced onion and cook over medium heat until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir in the vinegar, mustard, sugar, and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  • Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Combine the Salad

  • Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the warm dressing and toss gently to coat.
  • Stir in the crispy bacon and half of the parsley, ensuring everything is evenly mixed.

5. Serve

  • Transfer the potato salad to a serving dish and garnish with the remaining parsley.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips

  • Potato Choice: Use waxy potatoes like red or Yukon Gold for the best texture. They hold their shape well and have a creamy interior.
  • Make-Ahead: The salad can be made a few hours in advance. Gently reheat it over low heat or serve it at room temperature.
  • Additions: For extra flavor, mix in chopped pickles, capers, or a touch of smoked paprika.

This German Potato Salad is a delicious alternative to traditional mayonnaise-based potato salads, offering bold flavors and a comforting warmth that everyone will enjoy. 🥔🥓
