GRANDMA FLO'S GERMAN POTATO SALAD
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.

- DO NOT HEAT TO THE BOILING POINT, YOU WILL BOIL THE VINEGAR OUT OF THE RECIPE.
Tips:
- Use waxy potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Potatoes, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes when boiled, making them ideal for potato salad.
- Boil potatoes until tender: Boiling the potatoes until they are tender but not mushy will ensure that they have a good texture in the salad.
- Cool potatoes completely: Cooling the potatoes completely before adding them to the salad will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- Use a light hand when mixing the salad: Over-mixing the salad can cause the potatoes to break down and become mushy.
- Chill the salad before serving: Chilling the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, dill, or chives, add a pop of color and flavor to the salad.
