Ingredients

• 2 lb Red potatoes
• 6 slices Bacon
• 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 0.33 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Wash the potatoes thoroughly and place them in a large pot. Cover the potatoes with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 2

While the potatoes cook, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon slices and cook until crispy, turning occasionally. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Reserve the bacon fat in the skillet.

Step 3

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain and let them cool slightly. Peel the potatoes (optional) and slice them into 1/4-inch-thick rounds or bite-sized chunks. Set them aside in a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Return the skillet with the bacon fat to medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until softened and slightly golden.

Step 5

To the skillet with the onions, add the chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors.

Step 6

Pour the warm dressing over the sliced potatoes in the mixing bowl. Crumble the cooked bacon and add it to the bowl along with the chopped parsley. Gently toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 7

Taste the potato salad and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 8

Serve the German potato salad warm or at room temperature. Garnish with extra parsley, if desired.
