Hot and Tangy German Potato Salad
A delightful and zesty German potato salad makes for an excellent accompaniment to bratwurst.
Ingredients
- 5 pounds red potatoes, diced
- 1 pound bacon
- 2 sweet onions, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup white vinegar
- ½ cup water
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with water; season water with salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes, drain. Put potatoes in a slow cooker.
- Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon slices to a plate lined with paper towels. Crumble bacon and add to potatoes.
- Return skillet to medium heat and reheat bacon drippings. Cook and stir sweet onions in the drippings until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes; add garlic and continue cooking until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes more. Pour onion mixture over the potatoes and bacon.
- Stir vinegar, water, sugar, and salt together in a bowl; pour over the potato mixture. Stir potatoes gently to mix.
- Cook on Low, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 hours.
