Description

This hot German potato salad recipe is packed with flavor thanks to the addition of crispy bacon, tender onions, sugar, vinegar, and black pepper.

Ingredients

9 potatoes, peeled
6 slices bacon
3/4 cup chopped onions
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
3/4 cup water
1/3 cup distilled white vinegar

Directions

1 Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, cool, and slice thin.
2 Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble, and set aside, reserving drippings.
3 Sauté onions in bacon drippings over medium heat until they are golden brown.
4 Whisk flour, sugar, salt, celery seed, and pepper together in a small bowl; stir into onions and cook until bubbling, then remove from heat. Stir in water and vinegar; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, and simmer for one minute. Gently stir bacon and sliced potatoes into the onion mixture until potatoes are heated through.
