German potato salad is the best - in fact, I am not sure there is any other that can compare. This one requires no mayonnaise which is a plus for those people that hate mayonnaise. Try this authentic Bavarian recipe for your next picnic.
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- Potatoes - 2 pounds
- Onions - 1 large white onions
- Bacon - 1 pound
- Vinegar - 6 tablespoons or to taste
- Oil - 1/3 cup
- Boullion - 1 cube beef or vegetable boullion
- Green Onions - I bundle
- Parsley - 2 tablespoons
- Brown Mustard - (according to your taste) - 3 tablespoons
Preparation:
- Boil peeled or skins-on (according to your preference) potatoes in water and boullion for 15-20 minutes. (This may take longer if you are at high altitude). Don't let them get to soft - a fork should go in but the potatoes should not fall apart.
- Fry bacon and crumble bacon into small pieces.
- Dice the white onion and fry it in the bacon grease.
- Chop the potatoes into cubes.
- Mix the bacon, white onion, oil, mustard, and vinegar together in a bowl that will be large enough to hold your potatoes.
- Chop the green onions.
- Toss the cooled potatoes in your sauce along with the green onions.
- Sprinkle with parsley, salt and pepper to taste.
