BACON AND SHALLOT POTATO SALAD



Bacon and Shallot Potato Salad image

The German-style potato salad doesn't contain any mayonnaise, but is rich with bacon, whole-grain mustard and sweet fried shallots. It's best served warm while the bacon still glistens with fat, but is also nice at room temperature. Make it as close to serving time as possible. Or if you do make it ahead, consider popping it into the microwave for a minute or so just before serving.
