Ingredients of Glory!
Now, let’s suit up for the ingredients! Gather these champions of flavor and let them know they’re about to go on a culinary journey:
- 2 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup bacon, diced (because, let’s be honest, bacon makes everything better)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard (get ready for a zing!)
- 1 tablespoon honey (sweetness alert!)
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for that green, gourmet touch)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions for Amazingness!
Alright, folks, time to channel that inner culinary genius!
- Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside. Make sure not to turn them into mashed potatoes, we’re going for chunks here!
- While the potatoes are reaching their soft and dreamy state, fry the diced bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon – but don’t throw away that glorious bacon grease; it’s liquid gold, my friends!
- In the same skillet, toss in the chopped onion and sauté in the bacon grease until translucent. You might just faint from the amazing aroma.
- In a bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Just think of it as your tangy dressing potion!
- Combine the cooked potatoes, crispy bacon, and sautéed onion in a large bowl. Pour that tasty dressing over everything and give it a good toss. You want every potato to be touched by the magic!
- Finally, sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top for that extra pop of color and flavor. Voilà! Your Hot German Potato Salad is ready to make stomachs sing!
Let this salad chill, or serve it warm—either way, it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Get ready for some serious compliments, and maybe even a marriage proposal from your taste buds!
