GERMAN POTATO SALAD RECIPES HOT RECIPES

Steps:

• In 3-quart saucepan, place potatoes; add enough water just to cover potatoes. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook 30 to 35 minutes or until potatoes are tender; drain. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Cut potatoes into 3/4-inch dice.
• Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, cook bacon over medium heat 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp. Remove bacon from skillet with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels.
• Cook onion in bacon fat in skillet over medium heat 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Stir in sugar, flour, salt, celery seed and pepper; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.
• Stir water and vinegar into onion mixture. Heat to boiling over high heat, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 2 to 3 minutes or until thickened.
• Reduce heat to medium. Stir in potatoes and cook, stirring gently to coat potatoes, until hot and bubbling. Top with bacon. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Add 1 tablespoon (3 teaspoons) kosher salt to large pot of boiling water. Add potatoes and bring water back to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, so the water is just gently bubbling. Cook potatoes until they are just easily pierced with a fork, about 8 to 10 minutes. Don't let the potatoes get mushy. Drain and set aside.
• In a large skillet with tall sides, fry bacon over medium heat until chewy-crisp. You may need to do this in two or three batches. Transfer cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels. Once cool enough to handle, roughly chop bacon into 1/2 to 1 inch pieces.
• Leave skillet with bacon grease on the stove top, over medium heat. Add onion and stir to coat. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until onion is nicely softened. If onion starts to brown, turn heat down a little bit and continue cooking until softened. Stir in chicken stock, vinegar, mustard, and sugar. Turn heat up just a bit to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until dressing has reduced to about 2 cups. The dressing should be bubbling lightly during this step.
• Add cooked potatoes to skillet and fold to coat with the dressing, followed by the bacon. Turn heat back down to medium. Sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon of kosher salt (use less or more, to taste), folding one more time. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper, and fresh chives and parsley. Serve straight from the pan, warm. Or transfer to a serving bowl. This dish can also be served cold or at room temperature and keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
