German Potato Salad

Unlike its creamy, mayonnaise-based American counterpart, German Potato Salad is a tangy and savory side dish that is served warm. It features tender boiled potatoes tossed in a warm, sharp vinaigrette made from bacon drippings, vinegar, and a little sugar. The salad is packed with flavor from crispy bacon bits and sautéed onions. It’s a comforting and hearty side dish that is a staple of German cuisine, often served alongside sausages, schnitzel, or at barbecues. This recipe is simple to make and is a wonderful way to experience a different, yet equally delicious, style of potato salad.
