Ingredients

• 3 pounds Red potatoes
• 8 slices Bacon
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 0.5 cups Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 0.25 cups Water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized chunks. No need to peel them unless preferred.

Step 2

In a large skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings in the skillet.

Step 3

Finely chop the yellow onion and add it to the skillet with the reserved bacon drippings. Sauté over medium heat until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, Dijon mustard, water, salt, and black pepper until the sugar has dissolved.

Step 5

Crumble the cooked bacon into small pieces.

Step 6

Combine the cut potatoes, sautéed onions, crumbled bacon, and the vinegar dressing in a 6-quart crock pot. Stir to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 7

Cover the crock pot and cook on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4-5 hours, until the potatoes are tender but not mushy. Stir occasionally during the cooking process to evenly distribute the flavors.

Step 8

Once cooked, sprinkle the potato salad with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.

Step 9

Serve the Hot German Potato Salad warm as a side dish for grilled meats, sausages, or on its own.
