Ingredients

• 2 lb red potatoes
• 6 slices bacon
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 0.333 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized chunks.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Cook the potatoes for 12–15 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and set them aside.

Step 4

While the potatoes cook, chop the bacon into small pieces.

Step 5

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel to drain. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease in the skillet.

Step 6

Dice the yellow onion and add it to the skillet with the reserved bacon grease. Cook over medium heat until the onion becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sugar is dissolved and the dressing is well combined.

Step 8

Add the cooked potatoes and crispy bacon back to the skillet. Gently toss to coat the potatoes in the warm dressing. Cook for 2–3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the potato salad.

Step 10

Serve the German potato salad warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
