German potato salad

 As a kid one of my friends parents were German and the mother made a killer potato salad. I never got the recipe but this one totally rocks!

Ingredients:

2 pounds yellow, red or white potatoes (not russet or sweet)

8 slices thick cut bacon

3/4 cup finely chopped onion

1/3 cup white vinegar

1/4 cup sugar

1 TB mustard (dijon preferably)

1 tsp salt

1 tsp celery salt (optional)

1) Place potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Salt the water and bring to a boil. Lower heat to medium high and boil until tender when pierced with a fork. (15-20 minutes). Drain and slice into 1/4 inch thick rounds

2) Cook the bacon in a large skillet. When done, remove from pan and drain on paper towels. Pour off the fat but reserve 1/4 cup.

3) Lower the heat to medium and add the onion. Cook until translucent and beginning to brown (4-5 minutes)

4) Whisk in the rest and stir until thick and bubbly. Add the potatoes and toss to coat. Top with crumbled bacon.
