HOT GERMAN POTATO BACON SALAD
I absolutely adore this salad. I like it enough I will actually eat bacon! Based on the way my MIL makes German Potato salad, this is probably not vinegary enough to be authentic, but I love it just the way it is. I hope you like it too.

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!

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.

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!
