German Potato Salad

Ingredients

• Potatoes (2 pounds, waxy variety, boiled and sliced)
• Bacon (6 slices, cooked until crispy and crumbled)
• Onion (1 medium, finely chopped)
• Apple cider vinegar (1/3 cup)
• Dijon mustard (2 tablespoons)
• Sugar (1 tablespoon)
• Salt (1 teaspoon)
• Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon, freshly ground)
• Fresh parsley (1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish))

Instructions

1. Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly before slicing them into rounds.
2. In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and crumble it once cooled.
3. In a large bowl, combine the boiled potato slices, crumbled bacon, and finely chopped onion.
4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until smooth.
5. Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.
6. Let the salad sit for at least 15 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld together.
7. Before serving, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
