Description

A warm and tangy German potato salad that is perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds of waxy potatoes (like Yukon Gold or Red potatoes)
  • 1/2 cup of diced bacon
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup of vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, cover the potatoes with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. While the potatoes are cooking, in a skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
  3. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, vegetable broth, Dijon mustard, and sugar. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the onions and bring to a simmer.
  5. Slice the warm potatoes into bite-sized pieces and add them to the skillet. Gently stir to combine and coat the potatoes in the dressing.
  6. Add the crispy bacon back to the skillet, season with salt and pepper to taste, and heat through.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving warm.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon and use olive oil for sautéing the onions.
  • This salad can be served warm, at room temperature, or cold.
