A delicious side dish with brats, bierocks or anytime. It's a recipe we've made for years, one that we first tasted at an outdoor cookout.
Hot German Potato Salad Makes 7 to 8 servings
3 pounds potatoes
4 or 5 slices bacon, more or less as desired
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/3 to 2/3 cup cider vinegar (start w/ lesser amount & add more to taste)
2/3 cup water + more as needed
1/2 teaspoon+ celery seed
3 tablespoon chopped parsley
- Peel potatoes if using russets; leave skin on red potatoes. Dice and cook in salted water until tender but NOT mushy. Drain.
- Fry bacon until crisp, crumble; set aside.
- Add onion to bacon grease and cook over medium until tender and translucent.
- Blend in flour salt, pepper and sugar.
- Add vinegar and water and cook 10 minutes; add celery seed and cooked bacon.
- Add cooked bacon and pour sauce over potatoes. Note: You may or may not need all the sauce. We like it saucy!
- Garnish with parsley. Serve warm.
To Make Ahead: Cook potatoes and prepare sauce. Reheat both and combine. Can keep warm in the oven on in a slow cooker.
