Hot German Potato Salad Recipe
Tender potatoes and crispy bacon cooked in a tangy dressing. Cooked in the microwave, this warm potato salad makes a perfect side dish for just about any meal!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 slices bacon cooked until crispy and crumbled (Precooked bacon works fine.)
- 1 ½ pounds potatoes cut thinly
- ¼ cup white vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons sugar
- 6 Tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
- ½ cup sliced green onions
Instructions
- Fry bacon till crisp; drain on paper towels to remove excess bacon grease; set aside.
- Slice green onions. Scrub and slice potatoes about 1/8" thick. (You can peel them if you prefer.)
- Place the sliced potatoes in a large microwave safe bowl and add about 2/3 of the bacon and green onions.
- Whisk the vinegar, sugar, water, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Pour over the potato mixture.
- Cook in the microwave for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, till potatoes are tender but not mushy. If they seem dry, you can add a bit more water.
- Stir in the remaining bacon and green onions. Serve warm.
Notes
- I've used both starchy potatoes like russets and waxy potatoes like Yukon gold. Both varieties are delicious!
- The thinner you slice the potatoes, the faster it will cook.
