This authentic German Potato Salad is an easy family favorite that's perfect for a picnic or gathering. It tastes great cold or warm and is topped with bacon and hard boiled eggs- this is a classic that the whole family will love!
1bag of potatoescut until pieces and boiled (peeling is optional)
6 to 8piecesof baconcrumbled; save the grease (or more if you're like me and LOVE bacon!)
2or 3 hard boiled eggsor more if you want
Dressing:
Bacon grease from the above baconif you don't have enough grease you can always add a little oil.
1onionchopped
½cupof apple cider vinegar
½cupof water
2Tbsp.of sugar
Flour
Instructions
In the bacon grease, saute the onions over medium heat until soft, about 6-7 minutes.
Stir in the vinegar, water and sugar and cook for 5 minutes.
Whisk in a little flour to thicken (start with 1 Tbsp. and add more as you need it).
Mix the potatoes and some of the bacon with the dressing. Top with remaining bacon and eggs and serve warm. If you are serving later, pop it into the oven to warm before serving, stirring frequently so that it doesn't dry out.
Enjoy!
Notes
If I'm serving this later, I try to reserve some of the dressing and warm it and top it just before serving.
