This recipe is from German Deli.com and they recommend using Schaller and Weber bacon, but any smoked bacon (not maple "flavor") will do. This salad can be served hot or cold.

Tips:
- Use waxy potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Red Bliss or Yukon Gold, hold their shape better than starchy potatoes, making them ideal for potato salad.
- Cook the potatoes properly: The potatoes should be cooked until they are just tender, but not too soft. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and fall apart in the salad.
- Cool the potatoes before assembling the salad: This will help prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- Use a light dressing: A heavy dressing will overwhelm the delicate flavor of the potatoes. A simple vinaigrette or mayonnaise-based dressing is a good choice.
- Add your favorite ingredients: Feel free to add other ingredients to your potato salad, such as bacon, hard-boiled eggs, celery, or pickles.
