Grandma Flo's German Potato Salad image

A wonderful German dish, that has been passed down from my grandmother to my mother and now to me. The trick to this recipe is not to stir the bacon & cream mixture, let it reduce in size and foam. This will cut the grease from the bacon into the cream and it will not separate later on.

This salad is perfect for a summer barbecue. It's light and refreshing, and it goes well with grilled meats.

I added a bit of chopped onion to my salad and it was delicious. I think it added a nice extra layer of flavor.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before and it was even better the next day.
