I grew up having various versions of this recipe at potlucks. It is delicious and simple to make. This online recipe called for "diced" peeled potatoes before boiling, but we always had them sliced (lots of German grandmas around back then, and none of them diced the potatoes...only sliced). We actually sliced up already boiled potatoes.....and never had a recipe, but this looks right:
Authentic German Potato Salad
INGREDIENTS:
3 cups peeled, sliced potatoes
4 slices bacon
1 small onion, diced
1/4 cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
DIRECTIONS:
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.
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.
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.
