German Potato Salad with Bacon
by Brava Chef Erin
About this Recipe
German Potato Salad originated in Southern Germany and it’s known for its bright and savory flavors. This recipe leans on vinegar and olive oil instead of mayonnaise for it’s signature flavor. Cooked bacon bits add a welcome crispy texture. This recipe calls for olive oil, but Chef Erin also recommends trying this recipe using the leftover bacon grease in place of the olive oil for a more authentic flavor.
