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.
