Classic German Potato Salad image

Authentic German Potato salad is usually served warm or at room temperature, but however you eat it this salad is absolutely delicious. I must confess that I start eating it as soon as it is mixed, and some say it is even better after it has set for a few hours or the next day.

Time 45m

Yield 2 1/2 lbs

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs baby red potatoes (or your favorite potato)
1 large white onion
1 lb bacon
6 tablespoons vinegar (or to taste)
1/3 cup oil
1 beef bouillon cubes or 1 vegetable bouillon cube
1 bunch green onion
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
3 tablespoons brown mustard (according to your taste)

Steps:

  • Boil peeled or skins-on (according to your preference) potatoes in water and bouillon for 15-20 minutes. (This may take longer if you are at high altitude). Don't let them get too soft - a fork should go in but the potatoes should not fall apart.
  • Fry bacon and crumble bacon into small pieces.
  • Dice the white onion and fry it in the bacon grease.
  • Chop the potatoes into cubes.
  • Mix the bacon, white onion, oil, mustard, and vinegar together in a bowl that will be large enough to hold your potatoes.
  • Chop the green onions.
  • Toss the cooled potatoes in your sauce along with the green onions.
  • Sprinkle with parsley, salt and pepper to taste.
