German Potato Salad
Ingredients
2 pounds red potatoes
4 ounces bacon (about 5 slices)
⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
¾ cup onion, diced
2 teaspoons minced garlic
¼ cup chicken broth
Black pepper
Salt
⅓ cup chopped fresh parsley
Steps
Wash and scrub potatoes
If some potatoes are larger than others, cut the big ones into equally sized chunks for even cooking
Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water
Bring to boil and reduce heat and simmer potatoes for 15 to 18 minutes, or until tender
Drain the water and cut the potatoes into ½ inch cube chunks
In a large frying pan over medium heat, fry bacon until crispy, turning as needed
Use tongs to remove bacon and set aside
On the side, break up the bacon into small ½ inch pieces
Add diced onion to bacon grease and saute over medium heat for 5 minutes until translucent
Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds more
Pour in the chicken broth, vinegar, Dijon mustard, and sugar and let the liquid simmer for a minute or two
Toss in the potatoes and bacon pieces
Season mixture with salt and pepper to taste
Remove from heat and toss in the chopped parsley
Serve warm. If the mixture seems a little dry, you can toss in more chicken broth
