Authentic German Potato Salad

This is my mother's recipe. Everyone, German or not, loves it. It is easy to double the recipe as well. I often bring it to potlucks, and we also have it at home on special occasions. There are usually no leftovers, but if there are, they don't last long!

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons water
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 4 slices bacon
• ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• ¼ cup white vinegar
• 1 small onion, diced
• 3 cups diced peeled potatoes

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place the potatoes into a pot, and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork. Drain, and set aside to cool.

Step 2

Place the bacon in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry until browned and crisp, turning as needed. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 3

Add onion to the bacon grease, and cook over medium heat until browned. Add the vinegar, water, sugar, salt and pepper to the pan. Bring to a boil, then add the potatoes and parsley. Crumble in half of the bacon. Heat through, then transfer to a serving dish. Crumble the remaining bacon over the top, and serve warm.
