For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the dressing. If you prefer a sweeter salad, increase the sugar by a tablespoon. This salad is even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to meld together.
Experience the comforting embrace of a tangy German Potato Salad. This recipe elevates the classic with a luxuriously creamy dressing and a symphony of flavors that deepen overnight. Serve it warm or chilled for a delightful side dish that's both hearty and refreshing.
Boil the Potatoes: Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender (about 10 minutes). Drain and let cool slightly.
Crisp the Bacon: Cook bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned (about 10 minutes). Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Prepare the Dressing: In the same skillet, combine white vinegar, cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and let cool completely. Whisk in sour cream and mayonnaise until smooth and creamy.
Combine and Chill: In a large bowl, combine potatoes, dressing, red onion, parsley, and chives. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
Final Touch: Just before serving, stir in the crispy bacon. Serve warm or chilled, as desired.
