This warm German Potato Salad is a tangy, savory side dish. It features tender potatoes, crispy bacon, and fresh herbs, all tossed in a light vinegar dressing. It is a lighter alternative to creamy potato salads.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds waxy potatoes (such as Yukon Gold or red bliss), peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon, diced
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup hot chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place the potato cubes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender but still firm, about 10-15 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
  2. While the potatoes cook, fry the diced bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate, reserving about 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the skillet.
  3. Add the thinly sliced red onion to the skillet with the bacon fat. Cook over medium heat until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, granulated sugar, and hot broth.
  5. Add the drained warm potatoes and cooked onion to a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and gently toss to combine.
  6. Stir in the crispy bacon and fresh chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use waxy potatoes that hold their shape well when cooked.
  • Adjust the amount of sugar and vinegar to your preference for a sweeter or tangier salad.
  • You can prepare the bacon and dressing ahead of time, then warm the potatoes and combine just before serving.
