German Potato Salad Recipe

I had my first taste of authentic German Potato Salad 7 years ago… and it was
love at first bite! The delicious side dish is made with red potatoes, yellow
onion, and a delicious apple cider vinegar dressing. And gently tossed with
cooked bacon, chives, and a drizzle of olive oil! Unlike American potato salads,
this side dish can be served warm, cold, or room temperature.

Instructions

1 Place the potatoes in a large pot of lightly salted water. Bring to boil over
medium-high heat and cook for about 13 to 15 minutes or until potatoes are
tender when pierced with a fork.
2 Drain potatoes and quickly run them under cold water until cool to the touch.
Then transfer to a cutting board and carefully slice into 1/4-inch rounds. Set
aside.
3 In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crispy on both
sides, about 6 minutes total. Once crisp, place on a paper towel-lined plate to
cool for a minute. Then transfer to a cutting board and roughly chop into small
pieces. Drain about half of the bacon grease from the pan, then place the pan
back over medium heat.
4 Add the onion into the skillet with the remaining bacon grease and cook until
translucent, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
5 In a spouted measuring cup combine the the apple cider vinegar, both sugars,
dijon mustard, salt and pepper, and stir until well combined. Pour into the
skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes, or until bubbling and
slightly thickened.
6 Add in 1/4 cup of the bacon and the sliced potatoes and toss to coat. Cook for 1
minute, then transfer to a serving dish.
7 Top with the remains crumbled bacon and chives. Serve warm.
