Categories     Potato

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 -1 1/2 lb new potato, red
1/4 lb bacon
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1/2 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup cider vinegar
fresh chives, snipped, garnish (optional)
fresh parsley, minced, garnish (optional)
hard-boiled egg, garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Scrub potatoes and cook in boiling salted water until tender. Drain. While hot, skin and cut into 1/4-inch slices. You should have about 4 cups. Set aside.
  • Slice through bacon and place bacon in a skillet and fry until almost crisp. Remove bacon from pan and add onion and celery, cook until tender and transparent, remove from pan.
  • Drain off all but one tablespoon of bacon fat; add flour, sugar, salt and pepper to skillet stir until slightly browned.
  • Add vinegar and water and cook until mixture is slightly thickened. Add back the bacon, onion, and celery.
  • Pour hot dressing over potatoes; stir gently to blend. The potatoes should look glossy.
  • Garnish with hard-boiled egg slices, sprinkle minced parsley, and chives over top. Serve warm.

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 or fingerlings, will hold their shape well, while starchy potatoes, such as Russets, will break down and create a creamy sauce.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are tender but still firm: You don't want the potatoes to be mushy, so be sure to check them regularly with a fork. Once they are tender, drain them immediately and run them under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  • Make the dressing while the potatoes are cooking: This will give the flavors time to meld together. Be sure to taste the dressing before adding it to the potatoes and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Let the salad cool slightly before serving: This will help the flavors to develop and the potatoes to absorb the dressing.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh herbs or bacon: This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Bobby Flay's German potato salad is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy dressing, tender potatoes, and tangy bacon, this salad is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying side dish, give this recipe a try!
