Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 3 cups red potatoes, small diced
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 tbs. water
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 3 tbs. sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbs. parsley

Instructions

  • Place the potatoes in a pot, with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork. Drain, set aside to cool.
  • Place the bacon in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until browned and crisp. Remove and set aside.
  • Add onion to the bacon grease, and cook over medium heat until browned. Add the vinegar, water, sugar, salt and pepper to the pan.
  • Bring to a boil, and then add potatoes and parsley. Crumble half the bacon into the mix. Heat through, transfer to a serving dish. Crumble the remaining bacon over the top and serve warm.

Notes

This is best served hot, but equally good cold! This is an authentic German recipe...everyone says it is the best! It is also great cooked ahead of time and then microwaved...it gives the flavors time to blend.
