Hot German Potato Salad
This Hot German Potato Salad is a fantastic alternative to traditional creamy potato salads. With its vinegar-based dressing and a hint of sweetness, it’s bound to become a family favorite!

Ingredients
- 2 pounds of baby potatoes
- 6 slices of bacon, chopped
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by washing and scrubbing the baby potatoes. Place them in a pot of cold, salted water and bring it to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
- While the potatoes are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon from the skillet, leaving the drippings behind.
- Add the diced onion to the skillet with the bacon drippings and sauté until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey (or maple syrup), salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
- Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into halves or quarters depending on their size. Add the potatoes to the skillet with the sautéed onions, along with the cooked bacon.
- Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently stir to combine. Allow everything to heat through for about 3-4 minutes on low heat.
- Remove from heat, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm. Enjoy this delightful dish as a side or a main course!
This Hot German Potato Salad is a perfect balance of flavors and textures. The combination of tangy vinegar, crispy bacon, and tender potatoes is simply irresistible. Serve it at your next meal, and watch it disappear within minutes!
