German Potato Salad

By BobLongo

Ingredients

• 1 pound new red potatoes
• 6 slices bacon
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon corn starch
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/3 cup white wine vinegar
• 1/2 cup chopped green onions
• salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

1. Cook the potatoes in salted water until they are tender but still firm. Cool them in
cold water. Thinly slice the potatoes and set them aside.
2. Cook over the bacon over medium heat until evenly brown. Let the bacon cool on
paper towels to absorb the grease. Pour the grease from the skillet. With kitchen
shears, cut the bacon into 1/4-inch pieces and set aside.
3. Melt the butter in the skillet. Add the corn starch, sugar, water and vinegar to
skillet and cook over medium heat until dressing is thick.
4. Add the potatoes, bacon, and green onions to the skillet and stir to coat. Cook
until just warmed through.
Baker’s note: Traditionally, German potato salad is served warm. We like this German
potato salad just as much chilled.
