HOT GERMAN POTATO SALAD



Hot German Potato Salad image

Can't go wrong with Betty! Crocker, that is. This is just so delicious that I make it quite often. It's wonderful with pork chops, wienerschnitzel (did I spell that right?), or just by itself. Flavorful with just the right amount of tanginess!

Categories     Potato

Time 1h15m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 lbs potatoes, cut into halves
3 slices bacon
1 medium yellow onions or 1 medium white onion, chopped
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
1 dash fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat 1 inch salted water (1/2 teaspoon salt to 1 cup water) to boiling.
  • Add potatoes and return to boiling point.
  • Reduce heat.
  • Cover and cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until tender; drain well.
  • Cook bacon in medium skillet until crisp.
  • Remove bacon from skillet and drain on paper towels.
  • Cook and stir onion in bacon drippings until tender.
  • Stir in flour, sugar, salt, celery seed, and pepper.
  • Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is bubbly; remove from heat.
  • Stir in water and vinegar.
  • Heat to boiling, stirring constantly.
  • Boil and stir for 1 minute; remove from heat.
  • Crumble bacon into hot mixture.
  • Slice in the warm potatoes.
  • Cook, stirring gently, to coat potatoes, until hot and bubbly.

Tips:

  • Use the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, are best for German potato salad because they hold their shape well when cooked.
  • Cook the potatoes correctly: The potatoes should be cooked until they are tender but still firm. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy.
  • Don't overdress the salad: German potato salad is best when it is lightly dressed. Too much dressing will overwhelm the other flavors in the salad.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, and dill, add a lot of flavor to German potato salad. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but they will not be as flavorful.
  • Serve the salad warm or at room temperature: German potato salad is best served warm or at room temperature. It can also be served cold, but it will not be as flavorful.

Conclusion:

German potato salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or a main course. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a new potato salad recipe, give German potato salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
