German Potato Salad=annrms
(Kartoffelsalat)
6 to 8 medium waxy white potatoes or 3 to 4 orange & 3 to 4 yellow sweet potatoes
6 – 8 slices bacon, fried crisp, drained, reserve 2 tbsp. drippings
evoo
1 cup diced celery
1 cup diced red onion
1 cup diced red bell pepper
½ cup minced parsley
¾ - 1 cup vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Boil the white potatoes until tender, drain, peel, and dice. If using sweet potato, peel, dice, and steam until just al dente – important not to allow them to get soft.
Place the warm potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Pour over a big splash (not the whole amount) of vinegar and toss. Pouring the vinegar onto warm potatoes allows the vinegar to sink into the potatoes. Toss in the veggies and parsley. Add bacon fat and enough evoo to make the mixture glossy. Season with salt and pepper. Toss in the bacon. Let this set awhile to blend flavors. Taste and adjust vinegar, salt and pepper to taste. This can sit out on the table covered with plastic wrap. Refrigerate leftovers. When serving leftovers, heat in microwave to room temperature.
