AUTHENTIC GERMAN POTATO SALAD
This is my mother's recipe. Everyone, German or not, loves it. It is easy to double the recipe as well. I often bring it to potlucks, and we also have it at home on special occasions. There are usually no leftovers, but if there are, they don't last long!

GERMAN POTATO SALAD
Steps:
- Boil the potatoes in a large pot covered with an inch of water over high heat until tender, about 20 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes.
- Meanwhile, make the dressing. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Take out the bacon and set it aside, leave the rendered fat in the pan. Add the onion to the pan and saute until translucent but not browned, about 3-4 mins (Image 1). Add beef broth and bring to a simmer. Turn down the heat and add vinegar, mustard, oil, sugar, salt, and pepper (Image 2).
- Let the potatoes cool slightly so you can handle them. Peel the potatoes. Cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch slices or cubes and put them in a large bowl. (Image 3)
- Pour the hot dressing over the potatoes. Mix the salad gently then fold in the bacon pieces (Image 4). Let the salad sit at room temperature for at least 20 minutes before serving so that the potatoes can absorb the flavor of the dressing.

OMA'S GERMAN POTATO SALAD
My grandparents immigrated to New York City from Germany in the early 1950s. They became American citizens and raised their children here but always stayed true to their German roots, especially in the kitchen. Today my grandmother (I call her Oma) continues to cook the most delicious and authentic German food. This is Oma's traditional recipe for German potato salad with bacon and fresh herbs. It is a simple and vibrant recipe that can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. - Amanda Catrini, Purchasing Assistant

Steps:
- Put the potatoes in a large pot filled with cold water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and cook until fork-tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Let the potatoes cool for 45 minutes; they will still be warm but will hold their shape when sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate; set aside. Remove the drippings from the pan; return 3 tablespoonfuls and discard the rest.
- Add the onions to the pan and sweat over medium heat until soft, about 6 minutes. Add the vinegar, mustard, sugar, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more.
- Add the cooled potatoes, half the cooked bacon, half the scallions, half the parsley and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the pan. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper. Serve garnished with the remaining bacon, scallions and parsley.

I know there is a debate as to what constitutes "real" German potato salad. All I know is that this is TOO tasty! For those of you who shy away from German Potato salad because it is too vinegary, try this. It has converted MANY people as the balance is darn near perfect. Prep time does not include boiling the potatoes.

Tips:
- Use a variety of potatoes: A combination of waxy and starchy potatoes will give the salad the best texture. Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Golds, hold their shape well, while starchy potatoes, such as russets, will break down and create a creamy sauce.
- Boil the potatoes until they are just tender: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and fall apart. To check if the potatoes are done, insert a knife into the center. If the knife goes in easily, the potatoes are done.
- Let the potatoes cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent them from breaking apart.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the potatoes: This will help to create even slices that will cook evenly.
- Fry the bacon until it is crispy: This will add flavor and texture to the salad.
- Use a light hand when dressing the salad: You don't want to overpower the flavors of the potatoes and bacon.
Conclusion:
Allisa's Mom's German Potato Salad is a classic dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With its creamy dressing, crispy bacon, and tender potatoes, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
