Warm German Potato Salad

For most of us, summer food means grilling out, fresh produce, and side dishes like baked beans, cole slaw, and what else…potato salad.  Yet, if you are like me, you grew up with that good old potato salad consisting of chunks of potato, sometimes a boiled egg tossed in, and all dressed up in mayonnaise and pickle relish.  While that was, and still is an American favorite, you may be calling this Warm German Potato Salad your next best favorite.  How will I accomplish that, you say?  By taking you to a “new potato heaven” as I describe the amazing ingredients in this recipe.

Warm German Potato Salad

So, this is not your every day, good old American potato salad.  Well, it might be if your grandma was German!  And, I know, you are not sure about having a warm potato salad.  But, wait until you taste it.

Warm German Potato Salad

First of all,  what makes it so unique is, of course, that it is warm.  Next, you use beautiful red potatoes instead of the usual white ones that sometimes can turn mushy if cooked too long.  Another reason this is going to be a favorite is that you toss in some crumbled bacon…yummy!  What’s not to love about anything with bacon.  And finally there is the dressing…oh that dressing.  Rather than being made with the usual mayonnaise, you make a warm, smooth dressing that is creamy, smokey, tangy and oh so different than any potato salad dressing you have ever tasted.  For a finishing touch, you garnish the salad with green onions for a perfect contrast to this warm delight.
