This Hot Potato Salad is a recipe my sister-in-law got from her friend's family. It's a perfect hearty side dish for Octoberfest. The hot potatoes get tossed in a smokey, tangy, bacon vinaigrette. You know, to soak up all that beer!
- Prep: 20 mins
- Cook: 40 mins
- Yields: 10 Servings
Directions
1In a large pot, cover potatoes with water and season generously with salt. Bring water to a boil and cook until potatoes are easily pierced with a knife, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly before transferring to a large serving bowl.
2 In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy, about 8 minutes. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of fat in pan, and transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
3 Add onion and cook over medium heat until starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Whisk in in apple cider vinegar, water, olive oil, Dijon mustard, and sugar. Bring mixture to a simmer, then turn off heat and season with salt and pepper.
4 Gradually pour mixture over potatoes. Toss to combine and serve warm.
