Ingredients
- 2 pounds red potatoes
- 1 medium red onion finely diced
- 1 tablespoon garlic finely minced
- ½ cup beef stock or broth
- ⅓ cup white wine vinegar white vinegar may be susbtituted
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ½ cup fresh parsley finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste if desired
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
- 4 lices Bacon cooked and chopped; optional but recommended
Instructions
- Halve the potatoes, add them to a large kettle or pot, cover with water by at least 2 inches, and boil over medium to medium-high heat until fork tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Do not overcook; you don’t want them to fall apart.
- Remove the potatoes from the water and dice them into bite-sized pieces. You can peel the potatoes or leave the skins on. I personally think the salad has better visual appeal with the skins on; set aside.
- To a small bowl, add the onion, garlic, beef stock or broth, vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, salt, pepper, olive oil, and whisk to combine.
- Evenly drizzle the dressing over the warm potatoes, sprinkle with parsley, and gently toss to combine.
- Add the bacon pieces before serving* (See Notes).
Notes
- *Bacon:To save time, you can use precooked bacon from your grocer’s refrigerated case that you simply need to zap in the microwave for a minute or two and dice into pieces.
- You can of course make bacon the traditional way while the potatoes boil. If you are and want extra bacon flavor in your German potato salad, use two tablespoons of bacon grease rather than the olive oil called for in the dressing.
- Storage: Potato salad will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days. It can be gently rewarmed before serving if desired.
