Brian's German Potato Salad

This is the best German Potato Salad recipe. I made a few changes on a recipe originally given to me by my next door neighbor, when I was planning an Octoberfest party. It is a hit every time I serve it!

Ingredients

• ¼ cup white sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoons salt
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 2 teaspoons celery seed
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 pound bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• 4 pounds red potatoes, halved

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two; cut into 1/2-inch pieces and place into a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Meanwhile, stir the bacon and onion together in a large skillet over medium heat until the fat has rendered from the bacon and the onion is very tender but not brown, about 15 minutes. Stir in the flour, sugar, and salt; cook for 1 minute. Pour in the vinegar; bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Pour the dressing over the potatoes and sprinkle with celery seed and parsley. Stir gently to combine. Serve hot.
