Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 Yukon gold potatoes, medium size, cut into large dice
8 ounces thick sliced bacon, cut into pieces
Canola oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 red onion, diced
2 tablespoons capers, drained
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Put diced potatoes into a pot and fill with cold water (water should just cover the potatoes). Put pot on stove on medium flame and add salt. When water comes to a boil, and the potatoes are cooked, drain the potatoes and spread out on a side towel to dry.
  • While potatoes are doing their thing, add bacon to a large saute pan and cook over a low/medium flame. When the bacon is cooked remove with a slotted spoon and drain the bacon fat, reserving some if you want to add it later. Wipe out the pan with a wad of paper towels (and crank up the heat), add a decent amount of a neutral oil, like canola, and heat it until you get some smoke.
  • Once the oil is hot, carefully add the potatoes and shake the pan a couple of times to make sure nothing sticks. Lower the heat a little and let the potatoes brown. Season with salt and pepper.
  • After a few minutes, shake the pan and get the other sides going. When the potatoes are almost completely cooked, add the red onion and let everything cook together. Once the onions are caramelized, add the capers, red wine vinegar and deglaze. When the vinegar is mostly evaporated, add the extra-virgin olive oil, mustard and bacon (and reserved bacon fat if you want), re-season with lots of cracked black pepper. Serve warm.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I found the dressing to be a bit too salty. I would recommend using less salt next time.

This recipe is a bit too complicated for my taste. I prefer a simpler potato salad recipe.

I love the crispy texture of the potatoes in this salad. It's a nice change from the usual creamy potato salad.

This recipe is a keeper! I love the addition of bacon and onions. It gives the salad a nice smoky flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my potatoes didn't come out crispy. Not sure what went wrong.

Not a fan of this recipe. The potatoes were too soft for my liking, and the dressing was a bit too sour.

This is the best German potato salad I've ever had. The dressing is perfectly balanced, and the potatoes are cooked to perfection.

Absolutely delicious! I used a mix of red and yellow potatoes, and the colors looked so vibrant in the salad. Will definitely be making this again soon.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The potatoes are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

This German potato salad was a hit at my last potluck! The combination of warm, crispy potatoes and tangy dressing was irresistible.
