Kosher salt
8 ounces thick-cut bacon, or more if you're really feeling bacony
2 large shallots, finely chopped
1 cup low-sodium chicken stock
1/2 cup white vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)

1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
8 scallions, finely chopped

GERMAN POTATO SALAD WITH BACON-VINEGAR DRESSING AND DILL



German Potato Salad with Bacon-Vinegar Dressing and Dill image

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/4 pounds medium-size red-skinned potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
6 bacon slices, chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons coarse-grained mustard
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • Steam potatoes until tip of knife easily pierces center of slices, about 10 minutes. Transfer to large bowl. Cover with foil.
  • Sauté bacon in large skillet over medium heat until brown, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels. Discard all but 2 1/2 tablespoons drippings. Heat drippings in skillet over medium heat. Add onion; sauté 2 minutes. Whisk in next 6 ingredients. Simmer until mixture is reduced to 2/3 cup, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Add potatoes to skillet and toss to coat with dressing. Let stand 3 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped bacon and fresh dill; toss. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer potato salad to serving platter. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold, Red Bliss, or New Potatoes, hold their shape well when cooked and are less likely to fall apart in the salad.
  • Cook the potatoes properly: To prevent the potatoes from becoming mushy, cook them until they are just tender when pierced with a fork. Overcooked potatoes will absorb too much dressing and become bland.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for German potato salad is typically made with a combination of vinegar, oil, mustard, and herbs. You can make the dressing ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator for several hours or even overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as dill, parsley, and chives, add a bright, flavorful touch to German potato salad. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount since they are more concentrated.
  • Don't overdress the salad: German potato salad is best when the potatoes are coated in just enough dressing to moisten them. Avoid adding too much dressing, as this will make the salad soggy.
  • Serve the salad warm or cold: German potato salad can be served warm or cold. If you are serving it warm, let it cool slightly before adding the dressing. If you are serving it cold, chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

German potato salad is a classic side dish that is perfect for summer cookouts and potlucks. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy, tangy dressing and fresh herbs, German potato salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is sure to please everyone at your table.
