Authentic German Potato Salad

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. 1

   Gather the ingredients.

2. 2

   Place potatoes in a large pot and add water to cover by at least 1 to 2 inches; bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes. Drain, and set aside to cool.

3. 3

   While the potatoes are cooking, place bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry until browned and crisp, 10 to 12 minutes, turning as needed. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and crumble when cool enough to handle. Leave bacon grease in the skillet.

4. 4

   Cook onion in the bacon grease over medium heat until browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Add vinegar, sugar, water, salt, and pepper to the pan and bring to a boil.

5. 5

   Once boiling, add potatoes, and 1/2 of the crumbled bacon. Cook until heated through, 3 to 4 minutes.

6. 6

   Transfer warm potato salad to a serving dish and sprinkle remaining crumbled bacon over top. Garnish with parsley and serve warm.
