German Potato Salad Recipe

Submerge whole potatoes in generously salted water, simmering for 15-20 minutes until easily pierced with a fork.

Carefully drain potatoes and allow to cool momentarily, then slice into uniform quarter-inch thick rounds.

Render bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until golden and crisp, approximately 5-7 minutes.

Transfer crispy bacon to paper towels, crumble into small pieces, and reserve the rendered fat in the skillet.

Introduce finely chopped onions to the bacon fat, sautéing until translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Whisk vinegar, whole grain mustard, granulated sugar, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper into the skillet, creating a vibrant warm dressing.

Gently fold sliced potatoes and crumbled bacon into the tangy mixture, ensuring each potato piece is evenly coated.

Remove skillet from heat, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley across the top for a bright finish.

Serve immediately while still warm, allowing the robust flavors to fully develop.
