German Potato Salad Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds red potatoes
• 1 teaspoon salt (for boiling potatoes)
• 12 ounces bacon
• 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic (about 3 large cloves)
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions:

1. Scrub potatoes and cut any very large potatoes in half so that all potatoes are of approximately equal size. 
2. Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. 
3. Bring to a boil and stir in 1 teaspoon of salt. 
4. Reduce heat and simmer potatoes for 15 to 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender when stabbed with a fork. 
5. Drain water. Leaving potatoes in pot, return pot to still-hot (turned off) burner. Leave lid off of pot and allow potatoes to steam dry for a few minutes.
6. Set a large pot over medium heat and use kitchen shears over pot to cut bacon strips into approximately 1-inch pieces. 
7. Cook bacon, stirring occasionally, until crispy. 
8. While bacon is cooking, cut potatoes into 1/2-inch thick slices. 
9. Cut any extremely large slices in half. Set aside. 
10. Once bacon is done, remove pot from stove and use a slotted spoon to remove bacon to a bowl while leaving bacon grease in the pot (I had about 1/4 cup).
11. To the bacon grease, slowly and carefully add vinegar, sugar, Dijon, salt, and pepper. 
12. Place pot back on burner, bring mixture to a simmer, and stir for a couple of minutes.
