Warm German Potato Salad

This was a huge hit with everyone in our family!

•  2 pounds red or gold potatoes
• 8 oz bacon
• 1/4 c chopped onion
• 1/3 c vinegar (original recipe called for apple cider vinegar; I used white)
• 1-3 T sugar (I used 2 and liked it)
• 1 T Dijon mustard
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Pepper, to taste
• 1/2 c chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Cut large potatoes in half so all are the same size.  Place in large pot, cover with water, and boil until soft (15-20 minutes).  Drain and return potatoes to empty pot over hot (but turned-off) burner.  Leave the lid off and allow the potatoes to steam dry for a couple minutes.

In another pot, cut bacon into small pieces and cook.  While the bacon is cooking, cut the potatoes into 1/2" slices.  Once the bacon is done, remove it from the pan and cook the onion until soft.  Into the same pan, whisk the vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt, and pepper.  Bring to a simmer and whisk for a couple minutes.

Toss together the dressing, potatoes, and bacon.  Add parsley (if using).  Serve warm.
