Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Red potatoes
- 8 slices Bacon
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 0.5 cups Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized chunks. No need to peel them unless preferred.
In a large skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings in the skillet.
Finely chop the yellow onion and add it to the skillet with the reserved bacon drippings. Sauté over medium heat until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, Dijon mustard, water, salt, and black pepper until the sugar has dissolved.
Crumble the cooked bacon into small pieces.
Combine the cut potatoes, sautéed onions, crumbled bacon, and the vinegar dressing in a 6-quart crock pot. Stir to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
Cover the crock pot and cook on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4-5 hours, until the potatoes are tender but not mushy. Stir occasionally during the cooking process to evenly distribute the flavors.
Once cooked, sprinkle the potato salad with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve the Hot German Potato Salad warm as a side dish for grilled meats, sausages, or on its own.
