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.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes. This will give your salad a more complex flavor and texture. Try using a mix of Yukon Gold, red potatoes, and fingerling potatoes.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes. They should be tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and fall apart.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely before assembling the salad. This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light hand with the mayonnaise. You don't want the salad to be too heavy or greasy.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins. Some popular options include hard-boiled eggs, celery, red onion, and bacon. You can also add fresh herbs, such as dill or chives.
  • Season the salad to taste. Be sure to add enough salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. Baked potato salad is a great make-ahead dish. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Baked potato salad is a classic summer dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy, tangy dressing and hearty potatoes, it's the perfect side dish for any barbecue or picnic. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying salad, give this recipe a try.
