German Potato Salad
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 pounds of red potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1/2 pound of bacon, diced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup of white sugar
- 1/3 cup of apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup of water
- 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Place the sliced potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender but still firm. Drain and set aside.
- In a skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the bacon drippings in the skillet.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet with the bacon drippings and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the white sugar, apple cider vinegar, water, and Dijon mustard. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the cooked potatoes and crispy bacon to the skillet, gently tossing to coat the potatoes with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the potato salad to a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
German Potato Salad has a rich history dating back to the 19th century in Germany. This warm, tangy salad is made with boiled potatoes, bacon, onions, and a sweet and sour dressing typically made with vinegar and mustard. It's a staple in Bavarian cuisine and is often served at Oktoberfest celebrations. Chefs like Johann Georg August Götzkau and Maria Ritter have contributed to popularizing the dish in their respective regions. The best version of this dish can be found in traditional German beer gardens and family-owned restaurants in Bavaria. The key to a great German Potato Salad lies in the balance of tangy and sweet flavors in the dressing, and the use of waxy potatoes to maintain texture. Some alternative methods include adding pickles or using a mayonnaise-based dressing, but the traditional recipe remains a favorite among food enthusiasts.
