Warm German Potato Salad with Bacon
A wonderful side dish that's not your typical potato salad
Ingredients
- 3 pounds baby red potatoes washed and unpeeled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons garlic salt
- 8 slices bacon cut into small pieces
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup water
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 2 teaspoons celery seed
- 2 teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2-3 green onions thinly sliced
Instructions
- Place potatoes in a pot and fill with enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes until tender and easily pierced with a fork. Drain and cool.
- Place bacon in a large skillet and fry over medium high heat until browned and crisp. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.
- Add the chopped onion to the bacon grease and cook over medium heat until softened and lightly browned.
- Slowly stir in the flour into the bacon grease-onion mixture. Cook over medium heat about 2 minutes.
- Add the apple cider vinegar, water, sugar, salt, pepper, and celery seeds to the pan. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat.
- Slice the potatoes into slices about ¼ inch thick and add the slices to the mixture in the pan. Heat thoroughly and gently turn the potato slices until all the slices are coated with the sauce.
- Turn off the heat and place ½ of the potato slices into a serving dish. Add half of the bacon pieces and then put the remaining potatoes in the dish. Crumble the rest of the bacon on top.
- Add the sliced green onions to the top and serve warm.
Notes
This potato salad is best served warm or at room temperature. If you need to refrigerate it, you can quickly reheat it.
Only use small red or yellow potatoes. Other types of potatoes are too starchy and too dry to use in this recipe.
Use apple cider vinegar rather than white vinegar.
