GERMAN POTATO SALAD
SERVES 4 to 6
The first time I made this potato salad recipe for company in North Carolina, I was uncertain what the reaction would be. Well, my southern friends love it as much as folks in Pennsylvania Dutch country.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 pounds (about 6) medium russet potatoes
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
- Salt and pepper to taste
DRESSING
- 1/2 cup cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 6 slices bacon, diced
- 2 tablespoons minced parsley
Cook potatoes in lightly salted water. Peel and slice thin or cut in small
cubes. Place in large bowl; add onions, celery seed, salt, pepper and mix
lightly. Keep warm. While cooking potatoes, brown bacon in small saucepan.
Remove bacon pieces from pan, reserving grease.
To make dressing, add vinegar, sugar and water to bacon grease and heat to
simmering. Remove from heat and slowly add to beaten egg, beating
constantly. Pour over potatoes. Add diced bacon and parsley. Toss lightly.
Serve warm.
