    INGREDIENTS
    • 1.4kg Yukon gold potatoes, sliced
    • 6 slices of thick cut bacon, cut into lardons
    • 1 onion, chopped
    • 80mL apple cider vinegar
    • 80mL water
    • 50g granulated sugar
    • 15mL stone ground mustard
    • 15mL corn starch and 60mL water whisked into a slurry
    INSTRUCTIONS
    1. Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with water by about an inch. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are just starting to get tender, 5-10 minutes. Drain, run under cool water to stop the cooking, and set aside.
    2. While the potatoes boil, add the bacon to a cold dutch oven. Now set the dutch oven on the stove over low heat. Cook until the bacon is crisp and all the fat has rendered, approximately 30 minutes.
    3. Remove the cooked bacon with a slotted spoon, leaving the fat in the dutch oven. Reserve the fried bacon. Add the onion and continue cooking over low heat until the onions turn golden brown, 15-20 minutes.
    4. Once the onions have browned, add the vinegar, water, and sugar. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved. Be careful! The liquids will cause a great deal of splattering in the dutch oven.
    5. Whisk in the mustard.
    6. Add the cornstarch slurry and whisk to combine. Continue cooking, brining up to a boil, until the sauce has slightly thickened.
    7. Add the potatoes in batches, turning in the sauce to coat with each addition. Continue cooking until the potatoes are heated through and tender.
    8. Remove from heat, top with the bacon, and serve.

    Thank you for this great recipe! Having spent most of my decades old life in WI, I know that it is rooted heavily in German immigrants. So, your recipe definitely comes from an authentic, traditional source! Thank you for mentioning the few, minor items that you changed. Your Great Grandma would be happy for your creativity. The recipe is delicious! Brings back many memories. Any more of Great Grandma's recipes??? Your way of presenting the recipe, as well was outstanding! Thank you!

    Great video! I love this potato salad. I tried adding parsley and just a pinch of herbes de Provence at the end and it works well. Great recipe

    This is how I do it, with round slices, but I use more fat, and only starch from the potato. This is a cold weather dish, served hot. Mom’s side was all german women, so this was served frequently. Not a salad, but the entre!

    This is what I've been looking for! I was particularly looking for the stone ground mustard. I suppose one can add whatever they fancy to this, moving away from the traditional recipe, but using the basic method. Green peas might be a nice addition. Scallions. I wonder if this could be made with summer sausage instead of bacon, ensuring that the onions are cooked in bacon fat reserved in the fridge, for flavour? Anyway, thanks for this! I'll give it a try.

    Lost me when you removed most of the bacon fat. I use a cornstarch slurry often for thickening broths and in stir fry sauces, but never as a substitute for flavorful fat.
    Also, I find that deglazing works much better at a higher heat setting.
    But thanks for sharing your cooking!
    Also, well prepared video!

      In 1960 they started teaching metric in US schools. Some folks can’t be bothered, but it is nothing new. It’s just that 9/10 modern people aren’t forced to do much math.
