Instructions
- Place whole potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and simmer until just barely fork-tender, 15-20 minutes. When the potatoes are tender enough to easily slide a fork into with a little resistance (you don't want to overcook the potatoes here or they will turn mushy in the salad), remove them from water and let them cool slightly.
- While potatoes are cooking, heat a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat and fry the bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan and let it cool on paper towels. Once cool, crumble the bacon into small chunks. Set aside.
- Drain all but enough bacon grease to coat the bottom of your skillet. Add the diced red onion to the bacon grease and sauté for 1-2 min. Add the vinegar, beef broth, mustard, broth, sugar, and salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Turn off the heat and set the hot mixture aside.
- When potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice them into ¼ inch slices and place the slices into a large bowl.
- Pour the hot onion and broth mixture from the sauté pan over the potatoes. Add the chopped parsley and mix the potato salad until everything is well coated.
- Cover the potato salad and let it rest for at least 1 hour, up to overnight, to let the flavors come together. (You can leave it on the counter if only resting for 1 hour. Refrigerate the salad if resting overnight.*)
- Mix the crumbled bacon into the German potato salad just before serving. Serve hot, warm, or chilled, as you desire.
Notes
- *If refrigerating this potato salad before serving, remove the potato salad from the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow it to come to room temperature.
