Ingredients:

  • 6 cups potatoes (about 2 pounds), scrubbed, sliced
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 3 slices bacon
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar

  • 1 tablespoon parsley, minced

Preparation:

  1. Place sliced potatoes in 11 Inch / 28 Centimeter Skillet with approximately 1 cup water. Cover; bring to boil on medium-high heat.
  2. Reduce temperature to medium heat, cook until tender. Drain, and set aside.
  3. Rinse skillet. Preheat on medium-high heat. Add bacon and cook until crisp.
  4. Remove bacon, reserving 1 tablespoon of the drippings. Let bacon cool, then crumble.
  5. Add onion to drippings; sauté on medium heat 1 minute.
  6. Add flour, stir, and cook 1 additional minute.
  7. Add sugar, salt and pepper; stir.
  8. Add 1/4 cup water, stir to remove browned bits from bottom of pan, and bring to a boil, stirring.

  10. Reduce heat to low; add potatoes, and crumbled bacon. Heat through.

Tip: Bacon is a classic ingredient in German Potato Salad, and our version uses less bacon and fat than traditional styles. If occasional saturated fat is a dietary concern to you, omit the bacon and substitute olive oil or canola oil for the drippings.
