If you are thinking about an ideal side to go with your BBQ, fried chicken or hamburgers, German Potato Salad is just perfect! It’s always seemed to me that this great side dish can even become a main dish… if you increase the amount of fried bacon in it. Whichever way you serve it on your table, this side salad recipe will be a hit!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds new potatoes (small or medium sized)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 10–12 oz. bacon chopped into bite size
- 2–3 cloves garlic-minced

- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
- Freshly ground pepper (to taste)
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 red onion-sliced
Instructions
- Place the potatoes into a pot and cover with cold water, bring to a boil and add 1 teaspoon salt. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork, drain, and set aside to cool. Chop potatoes with the skin into 2/3 inch cubes.
- In a large deep skillet fry bacon over medium-high heat until browned and crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan and set aside.
- Add minced garlic to the bacon grease and cook over medium heat until browned, then add olive oil, apple cider vinegar,mustard, brown sugar, salt and pepper to the pan and bring to a boil.
