Classic German Potato Salad Recipe

By Tammy Algood Published: July 1, 2015

• Yield: 6 Servings

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes cut in 1-inch cubes
• 8 bacon slices
• 1 red onion peeled and chopped
• 2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
• 1/3 cup white wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

1. Place the potatoes in a large pot of salted cold water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Drain well.
   
2. Meanwhile, fry the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels and crumble when cool enough to handle. Add the onions and garlic to the bacon grease and sauté 4 minutes.
   
3. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt and pepper. Add to the onion mixture and cook 2 minutes to thicken. Gently stir in the potatoes, dill, parsley and crumbled bacon, tossing to well coat. Serve warm.
