GERMAN POTATO SALAD



German Potato Salad image

The reassurance of potato salad, its portability, conviviality and - depending on the cook - blank slate for creativity have been appealing to Americans since the last half of the 19th century. Immigrants and travelers to America introduced many styles, including variations of salade Nicoise (the French salad of potatoes, olives, green beans and tuna, dressed with vinaigrette), and salade Russe (cubed potatoes, peas and carrots bound with mayonnaise). German settlers brought hot potato salad, and that savory combination of warm potatoes lightly dressed with hot bacon fat and vinegar became entrenched in Pennsylvania and throughout the Midwest. This is an adaptation of a classic version that was first published in the 1931 edition of "The Joy of Cooking."

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 pounds baby Yukon Gold potatoes
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 pound bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 small white onions, finely diced (about 1 cup)
2 cups beef broth
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Peel potatoes, and place in a large pot with enough water to cover by several inches. Bring to a boil over high heat, add 1 tablespoon salt, and reduce to a gentle boil. Cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, about 10 minutes.

  • Saute bacon in a large skillet placed over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until browned and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon; transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Drain excess fat from skillet, leaving a thin coating in bottom. Add onions; saute until translucent but not browned.
