Description

Warm, creamy, and perfectly tangy, this German Potato Salad offers a delightful twist on a classic favorite, featuring a vinegary zing complemented by crisp bacon and sautéed onions.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs Baby Potatoes
  • 6 slices Bacon
  • 1/2 cup Onions, diced
  • 1/4 cup Shallots, diced
  • 2 tbsp Chives, chopped
  • 1/4 cup Vinegar (Apple Cider or White)
  • 1 tbsp Mustard (Dijon or Yellow)
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Boil the baby potatoes in a large pot filled with salted water until fork-tender, about 12-15 minutes. Drain and let cool.
  2. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool, then crumble.
  3. Sauté the onions and shallots in the same skillet until softened and lightly golden, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Whisk together vinegar, mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
  5. Prepare the cooled potatoes by cutting them into halves or quarters and add to the mixing bowl with the dressing.
  6. Combine in the sautéed onions, crumbled bacon, and chives, folding gently to coat.
  7. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Make-ahead tip: Prepare the salad a day in advance for better flavor. Customize by adding pickles or hard-boiled eggs.
