Time 1h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 pounds red potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1 pound bacon, chopped
1 cup sour cream
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
One 8-ounce block sharp Cheddar, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

I have kept this recipe a ranch secret, but I have decided to share it. This is my variation of a French classic garlic potato salad. It is different than the dish that inspired it, but very good and easy as well.

GERMAN POTATO SALAD WITH BACON-VINEGAR DRESSING AND DILL



German Potato Salad with Bacon-Vinegar Dressing and Dill image

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/4 pounds medium-size red-skinned potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
6 bacon slices, chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons coarse-grained mustard
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • Steam potatoes until tip of knife easily pierces center of slices, about 10 minutes. Transfer to large bowl. Cover with foil.
  • Sauté bacon in large skillet over medium heat until brown, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels. Discard all but 2 1/2 tablespoons drippings. Heat drippings in skillet over medium heat. Add onion; sauté 2 minutes. Whisk in next 6 ingredients. Simmer until mixture is reduced to 2/3 cup, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Add potatoes to skillet and toss to coat with dressing. Let stand 3 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped bacon and fresh dill; toss. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer potato salad to serving platter. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Red potatoes are the best choice for this salad, as they hold their shape well and have a slightly waxy texture that helps them absorb the dressing.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and fall apart in the salad.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the salad: Overmixing will break up the potatoes and make the salad mushy.
  • Serve the salad chilled: This salad is best served cold, so make it ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  • Add your favorite toppings: This salad is a great base for all sorts of toppings, such as crumbled bacon, chopped hard-boiled eggs, diced celery, or sliced green onions.

Conclusion:

Red potato salad is a classic summer side dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy dressing, tender potatoes, and fresh vegetables, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or picnic. So next time you're looking for a delicious and refreshing side dish, give this red potato salad a try!
