How to Make Best German Potato Salad

1. 1

   Begin by placing waxy potatoes in a pot of cold salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10-12 minutes, until they're tender but not mushy. Drain and let them cool slightly before slicing them in half.

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together white wine vinegar and caster sugar until smooth. Add the thinly sliced red onions into this mixture, letting them marinate for about 5 minutes to soak up the flavors.

   In another bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, seeded mustard, and chives. Season generously with salt and pepper. Don’t forget to drain the pickling liquid from the onions and add them into this dressing, mixing it all well.

   Toss the warm, sliced potatoes with most of the dressing in a large bowl, ensuring that they are coated evenly. Transfer the salad onto a serving platter and drizzle with the reserved dressing.

   In a non-stick frying pan over medium heat, cook the short cut bacon until it turns crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Drain excess fat before sprinkling the crispy bacon on top of the salad.
