German Potato Salad

DIRECTIONS FOR:  GERMAN POTATO SALAD
InGredients  2 lb(s) Yukon gold potatoes (about 4), peeled

3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

8 oz bacon, cut into 1/2-inch strips

1 medium yellow onion, diced

3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

2 Tbsp whole-grain mustard

1 Tbsp sugar

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

4 scallions, chopped

1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped

directionS  1. Put the potatoes in a large pot filled with cold water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and cook until fork-tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Let the potatoes cool for 45 minutes; they will still be warm but will hold their shape when sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds.

2. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate; set aside. Remove the drippings from the pan; return 3 tablespoonfuls and discard the rest.

3. Add the onions to the pan and sweat over medium heat until soft, about 6 minutes. Add the vinegar, mustard, sugar, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more.

4. Add the cooled potatoes, half the cooked bacon, half the scallions, half the parsley and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the pan. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper. Serve garnished with the remaining bacon, scallions and parsley.
