Potato Salad (German)

Instructions

1. Place potatoes in a large pot and add water to cover by at least 1 to 2 inches; bring to a boil.

2. Cook until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes.

3. Drain, and set aside to cool.

4. While the potatoes are cooking, place bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat.

5. Fry until browned and crisp, 10 to 12 minutes, turning as needed.

6. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and crumble when cool enough to handle.

7. Leave bacon grease in the skillet.

8. Cook onion in the bacon grease over medium heat until browned, 6 to 8 minutes.

9. Add vinegar, sugar, water, salt, and pepper to the pan and bring to a boil.

10. Once boiling, add potatoes, and 1/2 of the crumbled bacon.

11. Cook until heated through, 3 to 4 minutes.

12. Transfer warm potato salad to a serving dish and sprinkle remaining bacon over top.

13. Garnish with parsley.

14. Serve immediately.
