Authentic German Potato Salad Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 cups diced peeled potatoes
• 4 slices bacon
• 1 small onion, diced
• 0.25 cup white vinegar
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1.5 tablespoons white sugar, or more to taste
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.13 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

1. Gather all necessary ingredients.
2. Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with 1-2 inches of water, and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, around 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and let them cool.
3. While potatoes cook, fry bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until crisp and browned (10-12 minutes), turning as needed. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to cool, then crumble. Leave the bacon grease in the skillet.
4. Sauté onion in the bacon grease over medium heat until browned (6-8 minutes). Add vinegar, sugar, water, salt, and pepper to the pan; bring to a boil.
5. Once boiling, add the potatoes and half of the crumbled bacon. Cook until heated through, approximately 3-4 minutes.
6. Transfer the warm potato salad to a serving dish. Sprinkle with the remaining crumbled bacon and garnish with parsley before serving warm.
