Notes
Note: German Potato Salad is best served warm, allowing the flavors to develop. You can prepare the salad in advance and reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave before serving. The bacon adds a smoky richness, but for a vegetarian version, omit it or use a meat substitute. Feel free to adjust the sweetness and tanginess of the dressing by tweaking the amount of sugar and apple cider vinegar to suit your taste preferences. This classic dish is a delightful side for any gathering or as a comforting accompaniment to your favorite grilled meats.
