Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 pounds new potatoes or Yukon Gold
  • 6 ounces Bacon diced, thick cut
  • 1/4 cup neutral oil vegetable, canola, avocado, etc.
  • 1 cup onion minced
  • 1 cup carrot shredded
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 5 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt fine sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 2 tablespoons parsley for garnish, flat leaf, Italian
  • 2 tablespoons chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large pan over medium heat cook the bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon to a paper-towel lined dish leaving the fat in the pan.
  2. Add the vegetable oil, onion, and carrot to the pan and cook until soft (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Meanwhile, place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Bring the potatoes to a boil and cook until almost fork tender.
  4. Drain the potatoes and run under cold water to cool them enough to handle. Peel the potatoes and chop into smaller pieces then slice them into 1/8-inch or thinner pieces. You can use a mandoline for this process. Place the sliced potatoes into a baking dish.
  5. Add the vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and pepper to the pan with the onion and carrots and whisk to combine the brine.
  6. Pour the brine onto the sliced potatoes and mix well to coat. Taste test and season with a bit more salt and pepper if required. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, mixing at the halfway point, but preferably overnight so that the flavors come together.
  7. Garnish with the bacon pieces, chives, and parsley. German potato salad can be served warm or cold. Enjoy!

Notes

  • The key to getting the flavor is to let it sit for at least 2 hours but preferably overnight.  
  • German potato can be served warm or cold.  
  • Leftovers can be saved for up to 5 days and taste even better after a few days.
